Gradually I slipped down the mud.
No one saw me drift down the river bed.
Oh! My existence floats, goodbye my beloved.
Wailing and weeping I hear you go away.
Dragged in alien arms looking back once again.
We exchanged the last glance; the last soulless goodbye.
Did you look back, did your last glance meet my lifelessness?
For I shook again and tried to scream.
Don't leave me alone, alas the water couldn't carry my voice!
