where are the lovers?

Where are the lovers?
Once it was a famous lane
Up looking out from the windows
Down sitting on the bench

Now we listen to the stories
Of the bygone era of a time
The big towkays and mistresses
The public closed an eye

The pretty women living
On the row of houses
Living with comfort of life
The women waited for their lovers

The empty bench
Sitting on the back lane
Reminding us of the lost era
Of concubines and big towkays
