The Lonely Floater (Twe Yar Me)

The Lonely Floater
(Twe Yar Me)

(1) I have no more strength or stamina
She has no more attachment for me either
All her love has evaporated for ever.

(2) I can no longer wear her on my head
She has nothing for me left
All her kindness and pity has evaporated.

(3) Like in the green emerald lake
Where lotus flowers blossom great
Fallen lotus petal shed in shade
It floats in all direction the water makes
It has no more life to rejuvenate.
