Oho... oh... oho... hoo... oh oh
Like a cloud, I come and go,
Searching for you, my bright moon.
To whom do I send my message?
When will I finally unite with you?
Oh my love... oh my love...
Like a cloud, I come and go,
Searching for you, my bright moon.
I babble without even sleeping—is this the beginning?
Oh, my heart is stolen away, is that where joy lies?
Is love beautiful, or is it wise?
Is love a sweet comfort, or is it a burden?
Oh my love... oh my love...
Like a cloud, I come and go,
Searching for you, my bright moon.
When you arrived, the rain arrived too,
Filling my entire heart with joy.
When you speak, the fragrance of flowers fills my garden.
When will my moon of love come to my doorstep?
Only on that day will breath truly return to me.
Oh my love... oh my love...
Like a cloud, I come and go,
Searching for you, my bright moon.
To whom do I send my message?
When will I finally unite with you?
Oh my love... oh my love...
