From which sky and unto which distant sphere,
do You keep floating?
Who is that voyager, so difficult to attain,
whose song you keep singing?
As internal wave of all oceans,
Your victory drum resonates.
The billowy ocean dances,
as You listen to its core sound.
My acquaintance with You dates back a very long time.
In the stream of events we come together.
Through pain and pleasure,
and smiles and tears,
do break my slumber.
