Waiting for Love

Angel of love, why did you pass me by? Did Christ leave me without a soulmate?
Even you, Cupid, the pagan Eros, you deprived me of your gaze.
And who should I pray to, Aphrodite, can you help me? Save me from loneliness! Oh, earthly gods of love, why do you deem my life unworthy of love?

I was a good student in school, I wasn't a slacker, and I wasn't shy at all. But why, girls, didn't you give me your gazes? And why did you go with others?

Angel of love, why did you pass me by? Did Christ leave me without a soulmate? Even you, Cupid, the pagan Eros, you deprived me of your gaze.
And who should I pray to, Aphrodite, can you help me? Save me from loneliness! Oh, earthly gods of love, why do you deem my life unworthy of love?

And then came graduation, followed by my status as a student. I met you, and you were sitting across from me. It seemed like you didn't mind. We met, and you apologized!
But a week later, you were already with him!

Angel of love, why did you pass me by? Did Christ leave me without a soulmate? Even you, Cupid, the pagan Eros, you deprived me of your gaze.
And who should I pray to, Aphrodite, can you help me? Save me from loneliness! Oh, earthly gods of love, why do you deem my life unworthy of love?

My student years were a time without love, they passed me by. None of the girls became my Aphrodite. I watched you happily celebrate your graduation, feeling lonely.
It was as if God had turned his back on me, if that's true. But what about the other gods? I was left alone.

Angel of love, why did you pass me by? Did Christ leave me without a soulmate? Even you, Cupid, the pagan Eros, you deprived me of your gaze. You've deprived me of your gaze. 
And who should I pray to, Aphrodite, can you help me? Save me from loneliness! Oh, earthly gods responsible for love, why does my life seem unworthy of love to you? 

Here I am, caught up in work, entering adulthood! And then, a blow to the gut, my colleague. I've fallen madly in love with her! 
Aphrodite, I beg you, Jesus, please, turn on the charm of love! Cupid and the Angel of Love, become my friends and don't reject my love! 

Angel of Love, why did you pass me by? Has Christ left me without a soulmate? 
Even you, Cupid, the pagan Eros, you've deprived me of your gaze. 
And who should I pray to, Aphrodite, can you help me? Save me from loneliness! Oh, earthly gods responsible for love, why does my life seem unworthy of love to you? 

And now this office romance has ended, cut short, as if I've fallen into some hellish trap! 
Alone again, a recluse, I wander down the street! 
To an empty apartment, to empty dreams. 

Angel of Love, why did you pass me by? Has Christ left me without a soulmate? 
Even you, Cupid, the pagan Eros, you've deprived me of your gaze. 
And who should I pray to, Aphrodite, can you help me? Save me from loneliness! Oh, earthly gods responsible for love, why does my life seem unworthy of love to you? 

I went to church, lit candles. My God, Jesus, forgive me, Aphrodite, forgive me. And you, winged friends, Cupid and the Angel of Love, don't be angry, just help me. 

Angel of Love, why did you pass me by? Has Christ left me without a soulmate? 
Even you, Cupid, the pagan Eros, you've deprived me of your gaze. You've deprived me of your gaze. 
And who should I pray to, Aphrodite, will you help me? Save me from loneliness! Oh, earthly gods responsible for love, why do you deem my life unworthy of love? 

And now I'm standing outside, watching you struggle to keep your hands warm. Without hesitation, I offer you my gloves. You look at me, and we meet. Now I know that this is my love! 
Don't ask for love or gifts; the heavens know when you're destined to meet.
