They all know I'm not a drunkard, true,
But what if they offer, what then can I do?
They all know I'm not a drunkard, true,
But what if they offer, what then can I do?
If just once, eyes meet, a fleeting glance,
If just once, eyes meet, a fleeting glance,
And vows are shattered, what then, by chance?
And vows are shattered, what then, by chance?
They think I'm a drunk, a wretch, they believe,
They think I'm a drunk, a wretch, they believe,
Because like them, I stumble, I grieve.
But in my veins, love's intoxication flows,
But in my veins, love's intoxication flows,
If it's beyond their grasp, what then can I compose?
If just once, eyes meet, a fleeting glance,
If just once, eyes meet, a fleeting glance,
And vows are shattered, what then, by chance?
And vows are shattered, what then, by chance?
Hearing my state, they cower and fear,
Hearing my state, they cower and fear,
Someone arrives, with unbound hair so near.
Death and life, both, stand bewildered now,
Death and life, both, stand bewildered now,
If breath won't depart, what then, anyhow?
If just once, eyes meet, a fleeting glance,
If just once, eyes meet, a fleeting glance,
And vows are shattered, what then, by chance?
And vows are shattered, what then, by chance?
What addiction, desire, what blame can they find?
What addiction, desire, what blame can they find?
In oblivion, Anwar, self-love of mind.
Life is nothing but a haze in the air,
Life is nothing but a haze in the air,
Life is nothing but a haze in the air,
If you don't know how to drink, what then, I swear?
If just once, eyes meet, a fleeting glance,
If just once, eyes meet, a fleeting glance,
And vows are shattered, what then, by chance?
And vows are shattered, what then, by chance?
They all know I'm not a drunkard, true,
But what if they offer, what then can I do?
But what if they offer, what then can I do?
But what if they offer, what then can I do?
