I looked towards the east
You were the dawn, my dear friend
Beside my window
You came like a gentle breeze, my dear friend
Whenever I am all alone
You remain as my thoughts, my dear friend
Dying and being reborn
I became brand new because of you, my friend
My friend, with your arrival
My heart has become pure
Through you, I learned that a good friend is like a great library
I looked towards the east
You were the dawn, my dear friend
Beside my window
You came like a gentle breeze, my dear friend
Well, my friend
I have something to say
I want you to listen
Listen to me
This is what I have to say
Here it goes
When I say I am thirsty
You give me a young sapling
When I say I am hungry
You give me a grain of paddy
When I hold your hand
A fresh hope is born
When I walk beside you
Even a ninth direction opens up
All along my journey
You stood like a guiding signpost
Plowing through my mind
You sowed good seeds
To help me shape myself
You offered yourself as the chisel
What my true strength is
You made me realize only today
I looked towards the east
You were the dawn, my dear friend
Beside my window
You came like a gentle breeze, my dear friend
Whenever I am all alone
You remain as my thoughts, my dear friend
Dying and being reborn
I became brand new because of you, my friend
My friend, with your arrival
My heart has become pure
Through you, I learned that a good friend is like a great library
Is your smile a shower of rain?
My whole heart gets gently drenched
Is your gaze morning dew?
It rests softly on my eyelashes
A drop of water falling to the root
Brings fresh life to the flower too
The happiness that blooms inside you
Fills me with joy as well
If one finds a true friend in a woman
One gains a second life right here
Until now, this simple truth...
Why did no one ever realize it?
Life is full of changes
I understood that through you, my friend
Even if the Creator Himself asks for you
I will never give you away, my friend
I looked towards the east
You were the dawn, my dear friend
Beside my window
You came like a gentle breeze, my dear friend
Whenever I am all alone
You remain as my thoughts, my dear friend
Dying and being reborn
I became brand new because of you, my friend
My friend, with your arrival
My heart has become pure
Through you, I learned that a good friend is like a great library
I looked towards the east
You were the dawn, my dear friend
Beside my window
You came like a gentle breeze, my dear friend
