My True Love
When I was too young
my mother held me in her lap
very firmly, lest I fell down.
When I was young,
my father held my finger
very firmly, lest I ran.
At my youth,
I held the hands of my beloved,
and enjoyed the proximity of woman.
Now my parents have made abode in heaven,
and my beloved has settled in other world,
only you, my God, never shun me, never shun!
