My precious soul, oh my precious soul,
You are forever my heart, my life.
My precious soul, oh my precious soul,
You are the meaning of my life, my life.
On the delicate thread of this bond,
I swayed like a swing.
Searching for my lost days,
I end up losing myself.
If pain becomes life itself here,
An end alone would be a blessing.
My precious soul, oh my precious soul,
You are forever my heart, my life.
When I close my eyes, memories appear,
The days stretch endlessly in tears.
Like a bird with broken wings,
I too have become.
Forgetting the very thought of flight,
I fall to the ground.
Day after day, a silent war
I fight inside my heart.
My precious soul, oh my precious soul,
You are forever my heart, my life.
Is life merely a mirage?
Will it just vanish like a dream?
Do you remember the days we talked and laughed?
Can the heart bear bonds torn apart by time?
My dear, do not weep,
I will always be there for you.
My precious soul, oh my precious soul,
You are forever my heart, my life.
My precious soul, oh my precious soul,
You are the meaning of my life, my life.
On the delicate thread of this bond,
I swayed like a swing.
Searching for my lost days,
I end up losing myself.
My precious soul, oh my precious soul,
You are forever my heart, my life.
