The Cost of Love



Tell me how much love costs
I will buy all of it
Where love is, I will lie down
You can't kick me out.

Tell me how much love costs
I will buy it if I can afford it.
Unless money is not enough
I will exchange my life.

Tell me where the Love Market is
I will buy it for cruel hearts.
I will go apartment by apartment
In order to share the love with those frozen hearts.

Do not skimp a piece of love from orphans
They are alone, thirsty for attention.
They are poor in their hearts.

I traveled the world to find love
Is there anybody against me gaining it?
Although I do so much need love,
I will share it with you, good people.

Is there old love at least?
"No" word is so pity
Is it true in the temporary world?
Does everything depend on the pocket?

I do not know the cost of Love-
Love is not traded for money.
I was a silly trader. I traveled
to find the cost of love
Still, I know neither the cost nor where is love.

Tell me how much love costs
I am gonna buy it if there are any changes
Unless my goods are not enough,
I am ready to sell my life.
