I Can’t Love You
I feel your beautiful heart,
And I can sense all the romantic stars of the night,
But I can’t love you
Because I am a man of sand,
Knowing only dryness.
Yes, I hear your sweet voice,
And I see your beautiful face,
But I can’t love you
Because I am a yellow man,
Bearing only sorrow.
Believe me,
I have immersed myself
in every wonderful moment with you,
And I can smell the fragrance of sea flowers,
But I can’t love you
Because I am merely the heartless remnants of a war.
