Upon a soft white cloud
You placed my heart
Girl, in your smile
I am a gentle drizzle
Inside my eyes, a home
I had built
After you stepped in
It turned into a temple...
My heart searches for you
My soul searches for you
It runs searching for you
O life of my life
My thoughts search for you
My shadow searches for you
It runs searching for you
O life of my life
Girl, even if I were to die,
Just to close my eyes on your lap,
I would come running to breathe my last
If you look at me just once,
That is enough, right now
I will rise to life again on this earth
Upon a soft white cloud
You placed my heart
Girl, in your smile
I am a gentle drizzle
Inside my eyes, a home
I had built
After you stepped in
It turned into a temple...
Girl, inside your heart
Sorrows must never stay
Ooh... hoo...
Even if it is tears of joy,
I cannot bear to see you cry
Ooh... hoo...
God, grant me one wish:
Oh, let him be born as my son,
Let him cry every single day,
Oho, so I can be a mother and sing him lullabies
Wherever you go,
My feet will always
Walk right behind you, oho
Even if the sky collapses,
Even if the world comes to a halt,
Our love will always remain
Upon a soft white cloud
You placed my heart
Girl, in your smile
I am a gentle drizzle
Inside my eyes, a home
I had built
After you stepped in
It turned into a temple...
My heart searches for you
My soul searches for you
It runs searching for you
O life of my life
Girl, even if I were to die,
Just to close my eyes on your lap,
I would come running to breathe my last
If you look at me just once,
That is enough, right now
I will rise to life again on this earth
