Why does sleep not come,
Why does sleep not come?
Why won't it come,
Why won't it come,
Why won't it come,
Why won't it come?
Why not settle in my eyes,
Why not settle in my eyes?
Standing far, it smiles,
Standing far, it smiles.
Why does sleep not come,
Why does sleep not come?

My beloved dwells within my eyes,
My beloved dwells within my eyes,
Sleep cannot find its way,
Sleep cannot find its way.
Name unfolds, the eyes open,
Name unfolds, the eyes open,
I cannot meet its gaze,
I cannot meet its gaze.

This is not a matter in my hands, dear friend,
This is not a matter in my hands, dear friend.
