I let the thread of friendship linger in our feud,
I let the thread of friendship linger.
I burned all her letters, but kept her address.
Growing, it is,
growing, the ache of sorrow, after forgetting her,
her memory, it surfaced, her memory,
it surfaced, after burning the letters.
Growing, it is, the ache of sorrow, after forgetting her,
growing, the ache of sorrow, after forgetting her.
Why, my confidante, did you ask of my heart's plight?
Of my heart's plight?
Parting from you, not meeting, was but a pretext,
Parting from you, not meeting, was but a pretext.
I only wanted to test your promise.
Why, my confidante, did you ask of my heart's plight?
You too wept, you too,
after making me weep.
Growing, it is, the ache of sorrow, after forgetting her,
growing, the ache of sorrow, after forgetting her.
What are you seeking in the ashes? The embers are extinguished, too,
The embers are extinguished.
I came seeking light, begging for a glimmer,
I came seeking light, begging for a glimmer.
What else could I do but burn down my own house?
What are you seeking in the ashes? The embers are extinguished, too,
We came to our senses, even we,
after burning down the house.
Growing, it is, the ache of sorrow, after forgetting her,
growing, the ache of sorrow, after forgetting her.
Alas, now that faithless one has abandoned faithlessness,
abandoned faithlessness.
Someone lit a lamp in the strong wind,
Someone lit a lamp in the strong wind.
Someone shed tears on my grave,
Alas, now that faithless one has abandoned faithlessness,
He came to the grave, he came to the grave,
after erasing me. Growing, it is, the ache of sorrow,
after forgetting her. Growing, it is, the ache of sorrow,
after forgetting her. Her memory surfaced again,
oh, her memory surfaced again, after burning the letters.
Growing, it is, the ache of sorrow, after forgetting her,
growing, it is, the ache of sorrow, after forgetting her.
