Why did you leave me and go?
Leaving me behind like an empty shell?
Did the wishes of this poor girl
turn out to be a mistake?
O sea breeze, please come,
bring comfort to my soul.
Did the wishes of this poor girl
turn out to be a mistake?
The wishes I made each day
grew into a hundred dreams.
Those hundred desires
have worn down like a fragile thread.
With tears pooling in both my eyes,
they burn and dry away.
To be united with you again,
my heart searches for that day.
Please return quickly,
for my soul longs for you.
A simple golden life is all I need.
No matter how far one goes,
life's desires never end.
Did I lose myself in these needs,
like a foolish girl in love?
Without pausing, the roar of the ocean waves
keeps asking for you.
My own words, like a blade,
strike me down.
Is it a dream, or is it courage?
Aren't you my only path?
Come, so my wounds may heal.
You left me behind like an empty shell.
Why did you leave me and go?
Male: I became a fish caught on a hook.
I drifted far away.
To return to its home ocean,
this little fish is longing in pain.
