She sighs into the heJ.rt  on the breath
         The  Violin  shakes  his  rtears

         His  heart  breaks  at:  seeing  her  clothes  peeled  off  on  the
                                                       river's  edge
         The  pain frogleaps  on the  river  into <the  sea trumpeting

         Where do  I  look for  you ?
                                     Sorrow to the edge of the sky"

         Shehanai  is  sadness  searching  for  herself

              For  her  he  rides ,the  air
              For  her  he  evaporates  and  falls  in  a  whirl  on  the
                                                        cruel  land.
              Or  plugnes  into  the  sea's  womb  -

         Where  do  I  preserve  you -  Oh, where ?
         In  the  water's  bubbles?   In  the  breeze's  corners?

              Thus  weeps  the  Shehanai.

              The  Violin  drowns  in the  dead  of ocean.

         And the lonely Shehanai, then?  Sinks, on the sands
         And  cries  in  Dhun  Pahadi

         And  mixes  with  the  Sea's  foam
         The  breeze  breaks  the  bubbles  of  the  sea's  breakers  when
                                                 1t  treads  on  them.

              In  ,the  pain  of pleasure

              We  sit  down  to  it
              To beat time on thighs
              And mingle music wi:th  our ,tears.
