Been Loving You since BC
The king of Babylon promulgated the Code of Hammurabi
Which had been engraved on the black basalt
for a history of more than 3,700 years.
You stand in front of the show window
Contemplating the inscriptions on the stele
While I am appreciating your loving face quietly from aside
To whom did Flamen, sanctuaries, expeditions, bows and arrows belong?
I just like the scene in which you belong to me among the crowd.
Passing by the Sumerian goddess,
I make a vow to her
My thinking of you is like the stretching River Tigris
When the ancient civilization left only the unintelligible language
Legends became the immortal poems
I’d written down my affection on you before Christ
Which was deeply buried under the Mesopotamian plain
Dozens of centuries later when it was unearthed
The handwriting on the clay board is still quite legible
I’d written down my affection on you before Christ
Which was deeply buried under the Mesopotamian plain
With arrowheaded characters I wrote down foreverness
The vow that had been in the wind for millenniums
Will repeat itself
I feel so tired and I’m still far away from home
I'm afraid I could never come back to you
