It's the time when the mangoes fall
Overripe and forsaken
Like the fruit of a pregnant womb
Having nowhere to go
The juicy nectar of troubles
Thickly drips down on my heart
In the grievances of the season
I won't die anymore
It's the time when my load turns sweet
Eaten up and resentless
When the heat slowly and viscously dies
Leaving burnt houses' rubbish behind

But today it's a new life)
It's the time when the sea turns tangy
Ready to carry the leaving
When sea and soul are in honeymoon
And dream is lying with dream
It's the time when the stranded freight gives way
And a path to the living

But it was taking and giving
It's the time when the sailing ships
Break away from their courses
When the sea sets her jewels free
And seagull's ride on wind's arm
It's a time to sing and rejoin the silence
In corals' smiling hearts
When every minute tastes of tomorrow
And the eye's horizon is wide
A time when yesterday is free of regrets
And tomorrow's haven is open
When the future is free of fear
For what happened must be
It's the time when my heart smiles and sings
And I do not know why
