If you return, let it be for the leaving,
Don't return for the taking.
If you return, let it be for the leaving,
Don't return just for departing.
Don't come just to bestow kindness,
Don't come just to show what you're imparting.
If you return, let it be for the leaving,
Don't return for the taking.
On my eyelids, I've adorned desires,
On my eyelids, I've adorned desires.
Within my heart, a hundred candles burn,
lit with hope, a fiery pyre.
Don't come to extinguish these luminous flames,
Don't come to extinguish these luminous flames.
The chains can melt in the fire of love's desires.
The destinies of those who long,
can change and transform.
The destinies of those who long,
can change and transform.
Don't come to tell me of your despair,
Don't come to tell me you are in a storm.
If you return, let it be for the leaving,
Don't return for the taking.
Don't come just to bestow kindness,
Don't come just to show what you're imparting.
If you return, let it be for the leaving,
Don't return for the taking.
Only come if you hold love for me,
Only come if you hold love for me.
If you too yearn, if you too desire,
If your heart beats for my company.
Don't come to fulfill some tradition,
Don't come to fulfill some tradition.
If you return, let it be for the leaving,
Don't return for the taking.
Don't come just to bestow kindness,
Don't come just to show what you're imparting.
If you return, let it be for the leaving,
Don't return for the taking.
