Time is ticking, I thought

Heart drubs a thousand beats

A minute, an hour, is it?

Nothing matters now, except...

Tomorrow without you?

O Lord, not today... No!

Please, let her stay, for me

How could I possibly be

On this earth, alone

Becalm her dear soul

I shall volunteer to die

As long as she stays alive
