I've seen you! by Unknown — Analysis & Translation

Original Poem

I've seen you! I've seen you! And now I wanna feel you, I wanna feel you! Come and see my agony No one shows some sympathy I call on your name but, You only send some misery! Though It is like daydreaming Is it wrong to imagine you!? I've seen you And now I wanna feel you! In a haunting lonely night Full of darkness,no light My happiness will be erased But the sorrow will shine bright! Surrounding would be so horror And I am gonna scream you! I've seen you And now I wanna feel you! No one grasps me here And I only live for you dear But when you ignore me,know A sorrowful burden I bear! Now if you leave for ever Every night,I'll have to kill you! I've seen you And now I wanna feel you!

Translation (English)

I've seen you! I've seen you! And now I want to touch you, I want to touch you! Come and see my pain No one cares I call your name but, You only bring me sadness! Though it feels like dreaming Is it wrong to think of you!? I've seen you And now I want to touch you! In a scary lonely night Full of darkness, no light My joy will vanish But the sadness will shine brightly! The surroundings would be scary And I am going to shout for you! I've seen you And now I want to touch you! No one gets me here And I only live for you, dear But when you ignore me, know I carry a heavy sadness! Now if you leave forever Every night, I'll have to destroy you! I've seen you And now I want to touch you!
