Joy And Pain
I met the old man at the market
Trading in joy and in pain
I asked for an ocean of pleasure
He said you will pay me in pain
How much for an ocean of joy I asked
It's only one liter of pain
For pain is more precious than pleasure
For joy has no way to remain
But if you invest your one liter
Many more times you will gain
More than an ocean of pleasure
More than a liter of pain
I met the old man at the market
Trading in joy and in pain
I asked for an ocean of pleasure
He said you will pay me in pain
How much for an ocean of joy I asked
It's only one liter of pain
For pain is more precious than pleasure
For joy has no way to remain
But if you invest your one liter
Many more times you will gain
More than an ocean of pleasure
More than a liter of pain
