Bawadaak (Farewell)

Warda


I bid you farewell, I bid the world farewell along with you 
who killed me, you who injured me. 
I have forgiven your harshness. 
I bid you farewell without saying goodbye, 
without blame and without words that injure. 
I injure you! 

In the name of agony, leave me quickly. 
My great love will safeguard you on your way. 
God go with you. 

I bid you farewell. 
I leave a lover who bade you farewell before time. 
I bid you farewell. 
Talk to me... I am eager to hear from you; 
it is a long time since I bid you farewell. 
I leave you with a desire for the touch of your hand, 
for a farewell touch. 
What misery, I hate you!... 
No! I love you! 

A lifetime has gone with the wind! 
Yesterday was warmed with your companionship. 
I am your journey; 
I am forgiveness, irrespective of the wounds. 
My great love will guard you on your way. 
God go with you. 
On this very night I wrote to you, 
on this my birthday, a song just for you, 
to remind you of your appointment. 

My love, the nights come to make you forget; 
you come to enlighten my loneliness with your smile. 
Strangers and I all wish you'd remembered the date and come, 
but it seems you have forgotten? 
Everybody remembered but you, who forgot. 
I will make you hear your song. 
A happy year to you, the happy person 
suffering with my tears at the feast. 

I have never in my loneliness, forgotten the dates. 
Did you like your song? 
I bid you farewell with a bitter silence. 
I am but a guest who passed, thirsty 
and I drank from your love. 
How generous you were. 
I bid you farewell. 
My name is patience. 
I am under an order, my love is awake to protect you on your way. 
God go with you.
