Come heart, let's go home

 Stay here! Don't go now!
 When thirst comes, drink water
 from right here! Tell me, heart,
 why must you go that way?
  
 Right now he's busy with work,
 I'm telling you, listen, don't talk nonsense,
 this evening he's lost himself in the crowd of tasks,
 stay put, heart, clutch the straw in your own nest!
  
 You're forbidden to go that way!
 Waves rising in the current's pull?
 Crash against your own depths instead
 and learn to endure, oh heart!
  
 Embrace your own body tight
 and take the blue from the sky,
 paint your old skin with heaven's hue
 but don't drag your sulking along!
  
 Heart, you must learn to understand,
 don't people have work to do?
 When blind emotion stirs awake,
 is staying quietly forbidden?
  
 The person stays busy, you know,
 then why do you torment him so?
 I'm telling you, listen, turn your gaze this way first,
 look toward yourself — see how it feels!
  
 Heart, you're such a good girl,
 smear yourself with this evening's sun,
 bind the early morning light,
 don't get drenched watching the sunrise!
  
 Why do you worry so much?
 Will you just create illness and trouble?
 Let love grow a little old!
 You can just watch for today!
  
 Heart, you're going wild,
 I'm getting angry, that's why I say,
 stay alive this evening,
 die desperately some other time!
  
 This heart of mine! Do you understand timing?
 You always find the wrong moment!
 I'm telling you he's very busy!
 Don't dive into silence!
  
 Heart, you're so unbridled,
 terribly lacking in sense!
 Dreams clouding your eyes and face —
 is the person some cat burglar?
  
 Let go! The person is busy, heart!
 Without understanding, you'll just devour!
 Will you go that way? Why go?
 Is that where your work lies now?
