ogo nodi apon begay - The Journey of the Jasmine Tree

Oh river, at your own whim racing away from me -

Fragrance-filled, sleepless - I’m the silent Jasmine tree.

Always still, but in my steps deep the secret I keep

Of treading by showering flowers and by the new leaves.

Oh river with your crazy run

Lost in yourself, on your way with every turn,

My journey’s untold – towards the light, the life’s flight -

It’s joy known only to the sky, and the silent stars of night.
