Prince Pippali… (Pippali kumarune…)

The journey we have shared in life until today
Reaches its end, and my heart weeps,
Though my mind accepts the truth.
Prince Pippali…
Let us wait a little longer.

We part to seek the path beyond samsara.
I agreed to your noble vow, yet my heart breaks.
Prince Pippali…
Let us wait a little longer.

We bow our heads to honor the decision,
Yet tears blur the eyes that still guard the heart.
Prince Pippali…
Let us wait a little longer.

We have arrived at the crossroads of farewell.
Let us rest here, for just a while,
Before we walk apart.
Prince Pippali…
Let us wait a little longer.

We have reached the place where our paths divide—
You to one side, I to the other.
Let us pause, only for a moment,
Before we turn away.
Prince Pippali…
Let us wait a little longer.

Soon you will leave without looking back…
Prince Pippali…
