I crossed the seven mountains,
I sailed through seven seas,
Then I reached the shore,
Joy emanated like fountains;
I wished you would be waiting,
But I found the door locked,
I fell on my knees,
Eyes wet and the heart moaning,
It was a long dreadful journey,
Through hurricanes and risks,
Just to be yours,
With a hope so tiny;
And now this rejection!
I am trapped in you,
No way to go back,
Caged in your hallucination;
You will never ever see me,
I will walk away,
Away from you and the world,
I will embrace the sea.
