Oh! Such a lonely night, boring this lonely soul to death,
whilst my chaotic head crea'ing a myth.
A love ablaze with fiery heat,
If - indeed! - I could be a part of it.
Lo and behold of what I just see!
A beautiful celestial being came down for me.
His flickering eyes, magnificent as the stars!
Alas! Stare is the only thing I can do from afar.
I, the unfortunate lady sitting in the passenger seat,
unnoticeable by the crowd - Oh! How I am so discreet!
Looking at this pulchritudinous angel by the street,
wondering if somehow this is our fate.
He rode an Isuzu Sportivo with the hue of blood.
Hath he never wist I survey him whilst praying to God.
"Oh, God, my Lord! Why doth his face in my mind linger?
None of these must happen, never!"
Thus, farewell, young man of every mistresses’ dreams!
In the midst of the abyss, I shall sing these hymns.
Among other women, I seek myself unworthy,
For I cannot dearth reveal my affection for thee.
