1. The streetlights that light up the night smiled at my eyes,
Like crowns atop the head of darkness.

2. And I saw the city lights after the long journey that had wearied my feet.
I thought if I found rest it would please the exhausted traveller,

3. In the shade of affection and a corner of safety.
But the city evaporated like mist,

4. Revealing to me the falseness of my hopes.
Fate took a course unplanned.

5. You are no oppressor, nor am I a criminal.
