Where Are You, My Love?

Please tell me, where are you, my love?
In what place can I find you?
Where can I search without ceasing,
and where can I run to ease the pain?

Please tell me, are you far away?
Is the distance as vast as the sky?
Where do I fix my gaze,
seeking your face among the traveling stars?

Please tell me, if I look at the sun,
can I behold you without being blinded?
Can I see you radiant in its golden face,
where your eyes burn like flames?

Please tell me, if I search the universe,
will I find your gentle and lovely gaze?
If in the depths of nothingness
I might find your sweet, crimson lips.

Please tell me, is it in the moon
where I hear the softness of your voice?

Please tell me, in which galaxy
should I search with all my strength?
Tell me, what is the secret
to reaching the infinite?

Please tell me, which star it is
that I must fix my eyes upon—
since I cannot reach it to stop it,
nor can I let it continue,
for within it travels the love of my soul.
