These flowing tears
Not because of my revenge
My hatred
My anger
Nor my anguish
For him – my ex lover.
These flowing tears
For my love
My adoration
My affection
My passion
For you – my lover.
Once these flowing tears
Were worthless
Each tear dropp
Was shed in vain
For him – my ex lover.
These flowing tears now
Too valuable
Each tear dropp like a pearl
Too precious
For you – my lover.
Strange those flowing tears
Once for him
And now for you
Were the tears
From the same corner of my eyes
Which once youthful
But now start to age
In a very different world.
Shall shed tears no more
For him
But only for you – My lover.
Thank you MY GOD.
(The translation of Airmata Seorang Kekasih)
