Hold your love, let's not get intimate
I am footloose like a cloud
it's not for me to give my shoulder
to anyone to lean on.

I don't yearn for the comfort of one place
nor do I like to put a stop to wanderlust
I am on the move from place to place
how long can you put up with me?

That's what attracts me to you
o my wandering floating cloud!
I have been with you for ages
like a perennial flowing river.

You who are so besotted
with the limitless blue of the sky,
when will you recognize my love?
I will keep up with you
till you give up your flight.

Why do you go astray in love
becoming the fancy of a passing cloud?
I am on the move from place to place
how long can you put up with me?

I am in my own world
silent to the world outside
but inside my heart
there are embers from the lightning
that struck ages ago.

How I wanted to shower love
on a garden in blossom
or shower on the play of
mischievous moves!
Alas, my fate buried me
in burnt out earth.

So hold your love, let's not....
