O my distant friend, come close,
why do You remain far away and alone?

Your victory bugle resounds,
constantly announcing that You belong to all.
Day and night, I am awake for Your arrival.
I am unable to bear this pain any longer.

Clouds drift away
over mountain peaks, and, in the form of water,
return back to the sea.

Do not stay afar, come close.
Let our meeting start in proximity.

...........................................................

O my distant companion, come near,
why do You remain afar?

Your victorious drum resounds.
I hear that You are for everybody.
Yet, day and night I await You.
I can't bear this pain anymore.

Clouds float far away,
moving from the ocean onto the mountains.
Yet, in the form of rain,
they again return to the ocean's heart.

Like the cloud,
do not remain far away -
come back, come near to me.
Let me begin to look at You from a close distance.
