The very first melody in the breeze
Flows gently away
Is it time for the goddess of love
To pluck the strings of music?
Just at the thought of it,
The heart takes flight in love!
Are the stars in the sky
Just a finger's reach away?
As the heart opens up like a mirror,
The face of love blossoms.
In the moment of parting without a word,
Even tears are sweet as honey.
On the wings of love,
The world flies through all of time.
No matter who arrives,
No matter who departs,
Love never closes its doors.
The mirror of time
Appears in your form,
Bringing childhood back before me.
Even when told to stop,
My heart stubbornly
Follows right behind you.
Pleading and teasing,
It longs for you—
A girl's shadow and a million kisses...
Rocking me like a swing,
The thought of you
Still sings me a lullaby.
The dreaming heart searches for
Your lap of love.
The heart dresses up in celebration
The moment it sees you.
The very first melody in the breeze
Flows gently away
Is it time for the goddess of love
To pluck the strings of music?
Somewhere far away, you lived,
And there, in a corner, I lived too.
Your memories that never leave my breath
Bring soothing comfort to my heart today.
What was left behind in friendship,
You weave together again with love today.
Love and motherhood are no different;
I realized that through you.
The same girl, the same look,
Before me once again.
The same love, the same search,
In your eyes once again.
In the breeze...

The face of love blossoms.
In the moment of parting without a word,
Even tears are sweet as honey.
