In the twinkle of an eye it occurred,
In a flash it began,
Winds fought against us,
Humans were helpless,
Soon the victims bowed,
Cold were the deaths we saw,
Soon it was all gone,
My loving brothers wailed,
Sisters cried at tombs,
Blessed souls were interred,
Why art thou so cruel?
Such a love I would miss.
It’s all blown away,
The winds blew our joy,
Sorrows pierced noble hearts,
Mercy from God we seek,
My loving souls are gone,
Come back to me I request,
Thy hears would not hear,
Thou art gone till infinity,
My condolences to you I give,
Take my wishes I pray,
Set the joy free.
Pains in my heart grew,
Tears from my eyes did flow,
For my loving heart I wept,
Goodbye my precious ones,
Gone too soon.
