looking at steep hills surrounding it, speechless.
I have named the valley "the valley of self-betrayal",
and the hills "the hills of suicide". That’s it!
I embrace nobody but the wind. Not bad!
In the dark clouds sweeping the valley,
I see a hypocritical couple in false harmony
marching with laughter towards the end of a kiss.

Why should I sacrifice my mind for an inferno?
I know that I am still embracing the wind
and trying to persuade her to sing me a song.
Embracing the wind, I don’t break any human law.
Embracing the wind, I can do it without self-betrayal.
As I embrace the wind, I am no longer a prisoner.
