If I had my druthers

(2518)  Kena gele dure cale

Why did You leave, going afar,
Throwing me into the dark?
Having cherished You ignored;
No one calls this love.

I asked not for the night's pitch black;
I've yearned for the dawn's flash
At end of day in moon's location,
Moonlight-coated on a sky ambrosial.

I have wanted You with all my heart
In beat and tune, in thought and talk,
In vacant home like empty urn,
Eyes ignited due to splendor.
