There is no wisdom, or there is love

 
Don't love me well!
If you love me truly, your boat will capsize midstream!
Already the weight of your kingdom presses down…
Why take on this extra burden too?
But I understand it all!


Whatever's worth loving, I'll do the loving!
You're still just a boy, you haven't learned love!
Why get angry hearing this? What I'm saying is absolutely right!
If you truly knew how to love, would you be so afraid?


All this love-business… such trouble! Let it go!
I'm here, what's there to worry about?
You just stay well and live happily in peace!
No pressure, no weight to bear.
I've said it before—I need nothing at all!


Whether you love or don't love, it makes no difference.
I love you, so I love well!
There's no transaction here, no subtle accounting.
Keep me or don't—I'll keep you anyway!


Even if you forget me completely,
I'll still come close when the time is right!
So many words crowd your mind—
where would I find space there?
Oh, I understand, dear!
No problem, no tension!


Let me tell you something. Listen and learn
just how hopeless I am!
There were two dictionaries at home.
I thought, let me just learn!
I carried them everywhere,
kept looking at them—just staring at their faces!
At bedtime
I'd place those massive books right beside my pillow!
...No use at all!
I still don't know if "little" has more than three t's!
Tell me, does that make any sense?


I think, well, I was small then,
understood nothing. Now I'm no longer small,
I've grown up. Yet still, hoping for what
do I keep you bound tight to my head?


In childhood I had no sense,
in adulthood I have love.
Therefore, the story's the same!
