This very moment,
This very moment,
Won't it freeze just like this?
This closeness,
This closeness,
Won't it continue just like this?
This very moment,
This very moment,
Won't it freeze just like this?
This closeness,
This closeness,
Won't it continue just like this?
This silence,
This silence,
Won't it stay unbroken like this?
This sweet trance,
This sweet trance,
Won't it linger on just like this?
This very moment,
This very moment,
Won't it freeze just like this?
This closeness,
This closeness,
Won't it continue just like this?
The bird of memories,
breaking through its shell,
leaps out and flies away!
The days that you and I
wandered together
are floating in my heart.
Even with a thousand relations
in this world,
loneliness kept chasing me.
Until the moment
I saw you,
my body lay like a lifeless doll.
My heart shatters,
yet this is what I long for.
This is enough, my girl,
I could die peacefully now, my dear!
Oh, a life meant to be lived
across a thousand eras...
did I live it all in a single moment?
This very moment,
This very moment,
Won't it freeze just like this?
This closeness,
This closeness,
Won't it continue just like this?
East and west,
north and south,
are directions created by man.
The direction where you are
is the only direction
that my eyes truly see.
Summer, chilly winds,
and autumn
are the course set by nature.
Only in the time
spent with you
do my days truly come alive.
Beside your shadow,
I will find my rest.
This is not simple love,
this is not mere desire.
Oh...
Beyond the physical body,
beyond all passion,
is this that rare bond?
This very moment,
This very moment,
Won't it freeze just like this?
This closeness,
This closeness,
Won't it continue just like this?
This silence,
This silence,
Won't it stay unbroken like this?
This sweet trance,
This sweet trance,
Won't it linger on just like this?

Beyond the translation
