You will be the one...

When the first drop of rain falls on my forehead,
Dripping over my face and soaking my dry lips,
You will be the one I shall remember.

When the silent night wakes up to the radiance of the morning sun,
And devotees line up to worship their favourite God,
You will be the one I shall remember.

When the distant moon illuminates our dear soil  
And the veil of silver shadow uncovers your beautiful face,
You will be the one I shall remember.

When magic ceases to exist and miracles seldom happen,
And the blessings of dear ones fail to bear fruit,
You will be the one I shall remember.
