Song of a Lover Who Would Hate
- If I could only learn to hate
- the one who's always hated me!
- If I could only make her hurt
- for all the ways that she's hurt me!
- I would have revenge at least
- if I could pay back part of the grief
- to the heart that so grieved me.
- But I can't even learn to fool
- my very own heart. It fooled me
- by making me completely fall
- for one who'd never fall for me.
- And this is why I never sleep:
- I try but can't repay the grief
- to the heart that so grieved me.
- I pray that God will yet reject
- the one who always rejected me,
- or that I'll make her feel upset
- for all the times she upset me.
- Then I'd finally sleep in peace
- if I could pay back part of the grief
- to the heart that so grieved me.
- Or that I'll bring myself to ask
- the one who never once asked me,
- why I've always thought of her,
- though she's never thought of me!
- And this is why I'm suffering:
- I try but can't repay the grief
- to the heart that so grieved me.
[English version by Richard Zenith]
