Oh magical blossom,
Breathtaking beauty casting magic,
Oh magical blossom,
Boundless life born in my heart.
The moment my eyes looked at you,
Life itself looked right at me.
The shadow of yesterday, upon tomorrow,
Comes to rest its head and sleep.
This is the moment silence dawns.
Oh magical blossom,
Boundless soul casting magic.
"Is this really me?" In this deep feeling,
I blossomed and stood still in wonder.
If everything is yours,
I would pluck my very soul and give it to you.
Oh light itself, I held you in my arms,
And I become a body without any darkness.
Just to look at you, simply to gaze at you,
I would take birth for seven lifetimes.
I would dissolve and lie by your side,
Blooming and smiling every single day.
Oh magical blossom,
Breathtaking beauty casting magic,
Oh magical blossom,
Boundless life born in my heart.
