Like fragrance carried inside the wind,
you came into me.
Like rain falling inside a forest,
look, I am inside you.
It never fades... forever bound to the earth,
the scent of rain... just like you in my heart.
It never ends... everywhere in my eyes,
the soul's tender moisture... always like me, just like me.
Loneliness arrived in the middle of the breeze,
bringing feelings of beautiful desire.
The world is changing...
my soul is searching for sweet comfort.
Without the gentle sunlight touching it,
a feminine forest longs with unopened flower buds.
Joining hands with fresh roots,
gathering pure green waters, you are the solitude all around.
Something in the sea breeze touched my heart,
firmly whispering your name within it.
The lap of the waves reaches out,
gently holding you within it.
Unbearable thirsts rise on the sand,
and waves of heat strike from your breath.
This changing glow will never fade away,
as clothes wrap softly around your body... wrap around.
