That Word of Long Ago!
Chorus
Can I forget your forgetting
That word of long ago?
You said I was your life.
You promised never to part.
(He): To treasure a word and to task you with unfaith is my fault. Of what count is a word to a great one like you?
Why should one seek in a word stability which one misses in Life? Women are to blame who turn thralls to words and ways that are not of the man.
(She): You said I had no equal. I now realise the truth of it. Where will one find another woman like me who trusted and suffered!
(He): How has compassion left the breast of a great one like you? Come to me but once and I will buy even your false word for a crore of gold.
(We supplied the words He and She for clarity. Eds.)
