Where Are You My Dear?

My Dear,
Where have you been hiding for so long?
Were you in the past, singing your sweet love song?

I looked for you in the present.
I missed you in every place you went.

Now I will search for you in the future.
On the plains and highways, then I remember,

You once told me that if you would ever depart,
I would find you in that secret chamber in my heart.
