God, God, God, God,
O Keeper of the world,
Hear my pain-filled cries,
Hear my pain-filled cries.
O Keeper of the world,
Hear my pain-filled cries,
Hear my pain-filled cries.
With hope and despair, two colors,
You have adorned the world,
The boat with the storm you fashioned,
Union with separation entwined.
I have seen, a wandering heart,
O, my love's city has been plundered,
Now, let the tears flow free,
Now, let the tears flow free,
O, now let the tears flow free.
O Keeper of the world,
Hear my pain-filled cries,
Hear my pain-filled cries.
Fire became the monsoon's rain,
Flowers turned to embers,
The lovely night, a serpent now,
Stars transformed to stone.
All support has crumbled,
Take back my life,
O Giver of life,
O Keeper of the world.
The mad sun seeks the moon,
Dawn seeks the dark of night,
I also seek that beloved one,
Who could not be mine.
May God's favor be upon you,
O, fate has broken, hope remains,
Blisters have formed on my feet.
O Keeper of the world.
Palaces are desolate, streets are silent,
Walls are hushed and still,
What heart is ruined, the world is ruined,
Springtime has turned away.
How shall I spend my life?
O, temples fall and then rebuild,
Who will mend the heart?
O Keeper of the world,
Hear my pain-filled cries,
Hear my pain-filled cries.
O Keeper of the world,
Keeper, Keeper, Keeper,
Keeper, Keeper, Keeper.
