Oh, oh, oh, oh

Let us start with beauty,

beautifully in a glass.

Drawing closer and closer,

let's gather a few hearts.

It is a short journey,

let's admire the flowers along the way.

Gathering memories,

let us live this life.

Time never turns back, does it?

When we are together, there is no burden, is there?

Isn't this the right moment?

Let's celebrate life!

It is the fragrance our hearts search for,

it is the wisdom found along the way.

Even from a torn piece of paper,

we can make flowers.

In an intoxicating dream,

we humans have journeyed every day.

A few people meant for us,

we received as a blessing.

As the price for that,

we only gave a little of our time.

Even so, as our reward,

we leaned on a few shoulders.

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh...

One day, upon my bed,

the blanket I laid was gone.

To wrap around and cover you,

I threw it over you myself.

One day, by the roadside,

I stood in the rain.

Just to share your umbrella,

I gave away mine.

The distance I walk with you,

I walk without asking any questions.

It was only your voice

that I took into my heart.

Even a name for our child,

I searched for together with you.

I know it is just a dream, my love,

yet I opened and closed my eyes to dream it.

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh...

Let us start with beauty,

beautifully in a glass.

Drawing closer and closer,

let's gather a few hearts.

It is a short journey,

let's admire the flowers along the way.

Gathering memories,

let us live this life.
