My heart is missing,
Female: And though it is lost, I do not search for it.
My heart is missing,
And though it is lost, I do not search for it.
Even knowing where it is,
I have no desire to ask for it back.
Only because of you, my love,
did the meaning of my life become clear.
A memory comes back to me
of us living together in a past life.
I was born as a woman,
and now I know the reason why.
The blessing of living as your partner forever
is being granted to me.
My heart is missing,
Female: And though it is lost, I do not search for it.
Longing for our own quiet space,
I will create a whole new world for you.
I will make every arrangement
for just the two of us to live there.
Just the space in your palm is enough,
I will rest my head there.
The joy of resting on your chest is enough,
I do not need anything else.
My love, in the clothes you wear,
I will become a woven thread.
Oh my love...
My love, in the clothes you wear,
I will become a woven thread.
Why should clothes stand as a barrier?
I will wear you instead.
Like an impossible treasure,
you came into my life.
You locked me inside your heart
and lost the key.
My heart is missing,
And though it is lost, I do not search for it.
