Translation
On the lute of my heart with a new significance
Please tell me, which tune did You play today?
On the lute of my heart, with a new significance.
During this intense rain, on what confidence
Did You make me leave my home?
Please tell me, which tune did You play today?
All flowers have withered away,
Оnly thorns remain lying.
My floral garden has lost its fragrance.
In my dried up mental river
Why did You flow an upstream current?
Please tell me, which tune did You play today?
The festival of light moved far away,
Darkness wrapped up my all.
Into this snatched life of mine, into my void vitality,
Why did You pour new light?
Please tell me, which tune did You play today?
