Ah... ah... ah... ah...
Ah... ah... ah... ah...
An unending morning,
An unwavering gaze,
You gave me a desire that never drowns.
Sleepless hours,
Endless playful games,
I caught an unending ache... ah...
In my swirling, restless heart,
lost in your thoughts,
day after day,
the time I spend wandering...
A fire gathers in my soul,
when you, far away from me,
drift further and further apart.
A cloud that drifts beyond the sky,
this earth has never seen.
A thought that goes beyond you,
my heart has never known.
An unending morning,
An unwavering gaze,
You gave me a desire that never drowns.
Sleepless hours,
Endless playful games,
I caught an unending ache...
In the morning light,
in your two eyes,
you show me the sun.
In the evening light,
with your two lips,
you tempt me to fall asleep.
High into the sky,
the flutter of your eyelashes lifts me.
Through your love,
I see a dawn inside my soul.
Without moving anywhere,
as far as my heart travels,
without even a drizzle of rain,
a blessing showers upon my soul.
In the breeze of your breath,
just like a bird,
I feel like floating, my love.
Within your sight,
to live for ages,
my heart yearns, my love.
I close my eyes and look at myself,
for the very first time.
Your memory sweeps me away,
like a dark whirlpool.
Never leaving you,
like a cloud that stays,
staying completely weightless,
I am turning into the wind.
An unending morning,
An unwavering gaze... gaze,
You gave me a desire that never drowns,
you gave me.
Sleepless hours,
Endless playful games,
I caught an unending ache...
I caught it.
