When twilight descends, and night won't cease,
In lands afar, my heart finds no peace.
Why do you torment me, love?
Why do you torment?

Each pore chants your name, a whispered plea,
Breathing in hope, for you to be near me.
Each pore chants your name, a whispered plea,
Breathing in hope, for you to be near me.
My love, I wait, I watch for you,
My love, I watch for you,
As tears flow endlessly.
Why do you torment me, love?
Why do you torment?

No vermilion in my parting hair, no ear rings gleam,
No kohl, no flowers, no rouge on my dream.
No vermilion in my parting hair, no ear rings gleam,
No kohl, no flowers, no rouge on my dream.
All adornments gone, with you, my love,
All adornments gone, with you, my love,
Youth's bloom begins to fade.
Why do you torment me, love?
Why do you torment?

Without my love, a lonely soul weeps,
While all the world in peaceful slumber sleeps.
Without my love, a lonely soul weeps,
While all the world in peaceful slumber sleeps.
Searching for you, counting stars above,
Searching for you, counting stars above,
My heart is filled with dread.
Why do you torment me, love?
Why do you torment?
Why do you torment, love?
Why do you torment?
