Love Street

This morning, I was walking in Love Street

I saw two lovers holding hands and talking

I saw eyes which were shedding tears, and eyes greeting each other1

You encountered me yelling "shame!"2 at the top of my voice

I was afraid of seeing my past in front of me like brand new

I was faced with you3 against my will and I left running towards the others

I grasped her hands in mine and wiped her eyes' tears

And she swore on our love that she wouldn't chide her hands another day more

You encountered me yelling "shame!" at the top of my voice

Oh, all you pairs of lovers, I've given you a moral

From the lover of her heart: love's suffocated and tormented me

Never abandon your love, no matter what

Night after night I'm back where I started4

You encountered me yelling "shame!" at the top of my voice

1. "saying Salam"
2. haram
3. the memory of you??
4. like he's metaphorically pacing backwards and forwards is how I interpreted it but let me know if I got it wrong :)
