The world, a carnival of beauty,
yet within, my heart, a solitary plea.
A friend I seek, for the sake of kinship,
A friend I seek, for a bond to be.

Here and there, faces abound, adorned,
so many beautiful, brightly born.
But where my gaze truly settles, finds none,
that visage I yearn for, beneath the sun.
A love I seek, for the sake of devotion,

The world, a carnival of beauty,
yet within, my heart, a solitary plea.
A friend I seek, for the sake of kinship,
A friend I seek, for a bond to be.

Grace, intoxication, eyes, body, all you hold,
But you are not the cloud, my thirst to enfold.
Grace, intoxication, eyes, body, all you hold,
But you are not the cloud, my thirst to enfold.
A drink I seek, for the sake of release,

The world, a carnival of beauty,
yet within, my heart, a solitary plea.
A friend I seek, for the sake of kinship,
A friend I seek, for a bond to be.
