My precious darling, dear as my eyes,
I exist only for you, don't I?
My precious darling, dear as my eyes,
I exist only for you, don't I?
My golden cuckoo, aren't you meant only for me?
Can we not become one?
Will my life not dawn through you?
Your desires, your future, and your joy—
won't they blossom like a flower?
Like boats tossing upon the water,
here I am, drifting and struggling.
Where is the day my heart can celebrate?
Where is my soul? You are right there!
My precious darling, dear as my eyes,
I exist only for you, don't I?
My golden cuckoo, aren't you meant only for me?
A piece of camphor placed upon a palm
melts away without truly vanishing.
Unaware of this, someone has gone astray
and suffers, tossed around like waves.
The heart boils like raging fire.
If the rushing flood turns into fire,
there is no way for the crops to survive.
If the roadside resting stone itself becomes a burden,
there is no place left to support it.
My dear one does not understand this.
Will the bright moon ever fall? Will the sun ever fade?
Will the vast ocean dry up? Will this heart ever change?
Female: Like boats tossing upon the water,
here I am, drifting and struggling.
Where is the day my heart can celebrate?
Where is my soul? You are right there!
My precious darling, dear as my eyes,
I exist only for you, don't I?
My golden cuckoo, aren't you meant only for me?
The clear truth, one day,
the time will come for it to come to light.
When that is known, seeking my doorstep,
your feet will walk back to me, and on that day,
all your sorrow will disappear.
To a town that does not exist along an untrodden path,
why go on such a journey?
If all my doubts turn out to be wrong,
why should I hesitate to be with you?
Why should I hesitate to unite with you?
In a life lived with honesty,
there is never any defeat.
Victory upon victory
will come searching for us tomorrow!
Like boats tossing upon the water,
here I am, drifting and struggling.
Where is the day my heart can celebrate?
Where is my soul? You are right there!
My precious darling, dear as my eyes,
I exist only for you, don't I?
My golden cuckoo, aren't you meant only for me?
