Oh sadness if I only know you

Oh sadness,
If only I had known you before
I would have created a garden of
jasmine in front of your house
And a pathway of joy made of tiles
Oh sadness,
If only I had known you before
I would have come to you myself
And not made you walk all this distance
Oh sadness, swear on your sadness
I did not know you now
You changed your way of walking
And put on a cheap perfume
Oh you, cheap sadness,
How much I cried for you!
