Leave Me Here

I want to live, 
I want to live here where
buds bloom, birds chirp, 
rivers flow, waves smile, 
fireflies glow, lions roar, 
mighty mountains stand head high! 

I don't want to leave
and live in paradise
where I don't have
my childhood pals,
the lass I loved, 
the valleys we strolled, 
the songs we sang, 
the life we lived together, 
forgetting ourselves, 
forgetting all worries, 
singing songs, 
dancing to tunes, 
playing flute,
keeping harmony
with Mother Nature! 

Don't lure me God
to your paradise where 
entry is only to souls, 
to praise you always! 
I just can't do that, 
I should be what I wish to be, 
I just can't be your slave! 

I just don't want to try
my luck dying first to live 
an uncertain second life
as a soul, as a slave! 
I've not yet lived my life
on earth by the side of the 
river I loved most, 
fishing, whistling, pranking, 
dreaming, wetting in rains, 
splashing deep into the river! 

You may have many people
living down on earth longing 
to live with you desperately;
Kill them first, take them
as souls to be your slaves but
leave me here to live where
I'm happy with all that I've!
