Taking small, gentle words,
Go as a messenger to speak of our love.
There is no flaw in the words that were spoken;
Go and tell her they are pure and true.
Taking small, gentle words,
Go as a messenger to speak of our love.
There is no flaw in the words that were spoken;
Go and tell her they are pure and true.
With your man left all alone,
Pining away in search of his partner,
And with me, confused and lost,
Searching for a way to make amends,
Taking small, gentle words,
Go as a messenger to speak of our love.
There is no flaw in the words that were spoken;
Go and tell her they are pure and true.
Melting away in dissolving tears,
I have become like a burning candle.
Just look at me.
As her king's heart aches with grief,
I have fallen to the earth like a withered leaf, oh flower.
Please go and tell her.
Setting my sleep aside,
Singing a song each passing day,
Searching endlessly for that pure-hearted woman,
I am like a skylark crying out in pain.
With a lie placed upon your lips,
I became like a delicate flower pierced by thorns.
Male: Holding only deep love in my heart,
I stood frozen like a stone-carved chariot.
Female: I became like a boat tossed upon the waves...
Taking small, gentle words,
Go as a messenger to my beautiful girl.
There is no flaw in the words that were spoken;
Go and tell her they are pure and true.
Born entirely out of spoken words,
This is our own personal tale, isn't it?
Oh flower, please listen.
Oh girl, there is no anger or grievance,
Why must you carry such weight in your heart?
Go and tell her this yourself.
These tears that spill past the eyelids—
This young woman has suffered enough sorrow.
Will the clouds concealing the bright moon
Not drift away far into the distance?
Ever since my lovely parrot departed,
I have been left all by myself.
Female: What is the use of agonizing over it endlessly?
Won't your eyes finally rest in sleep, my love?
Male: My life has departed, leaving behind only an empty body.
Taking small, gentle words,
Go as a messenger to my beautiful girl.
There is no flaw in the words that were spoken;
Go and tell her they are pure and true.
Go join with the cuckoo bird,
Listen to a comforting song.
So that her sadness may be healed,
Please find a way.
Taking small, gentle words,
Go as a messenger to speak of our love.
There is no flaw in the words that were spoken;
Go and tell her they are pure and true.

Both lovers reflect on their loneliness, grief, and emotional heaviness, comparing themselves to melting wax, dry leaves, and stone chariots as they yearn for reconciliation.
