Hush Don't Say Anything To God
See my ashen face,
feel my ceaseless pain,
and don't say anything to God.
See my bleeding heart,
my eyes flowing like a roaring river,
all that you see, let it pass you by,
and don't say anything to God.
Last night, your spirit came to the house of my heart,
knocked on the door and said,
come on, open up,
and, hush, don't say anything.
I bit my hand when I saw you,
I said, yearning for you is all too painful.
He said, I belong only to you,
let your hand drop
and, hush, don't say anything.
He said, You are my sornaa,
you can't cry without my lips touching you.
Wait, for I will play you like a harp,
until then, about my melody,
don't say anything.
