KANT́HER GÁN THEME GECHE


The flowers in my hair have withered.
The song of my voice has stopped.
In this tearfilled evening my mind craves for Your grace.

You once said,
"Do not fear, I am with You,
I shall always remain with You."
And yet, I feel as if losing You.

The light of my hope begins to dim.
But I shall not lose heart.
The thought of You gives me strength.
With new ghee and wick
I relight this dimming lamp of hope.
