In the light given
By the wandering moon,
You are the beauty of the blushing night.
Embraced by raindrops,
Dripping with love,
You are the petal of a flower.
Oh cuckoo, sweet young cuckoo,
You are the lines of my song.
Oh music, gentle melody,
You are the ache that inspires it.
Oh first rain,
Oh first rain,
You are my beginning and my end,
Only you, my love...
Just to touch you,
I came alive.
To surrender myself,
I came to know you.
Beside you,
To wake up each morning,
I need a thousand lifetimes.
Just to touch you,
I came alive.
To surrender myself,
I came to know you.
Beside you,
To wake up each morning,
I need a thousand lifetimes.
Oh cuckoo, sweet young cuckoo,
You are the lyrics of my song.
Oh music, gentle melody,
You are the ache that inspires it.
Oh first rain,
Oh first rain,
You are my beginning and my end,
Only you, my love...
The night passes by,
Yet thoughts of you never leave me.
My childlike heart longs for you,
Are you my never-ending love?
Making me lose all sense of myself,
You are my sweet intoxication.
Only you, yes you,
Without you, who is there for me?
Even writing a thousand songs
Is still not enough,
All poems about you.
Oh my rose, what magic is this?
Let us live by a new rule of love,
Like little children within it.
Do not go far away from me,
Even a little distance is unbearable,
Like a sky without a moon.
My life, oh my life,
You are the language of my love.
Oh music, my music,
You are the poem that speaks it.
Oh first rain,
Oh first rain,
You are my beginning and my end,
Only you, my love...
My life, oh my life,
You are the language of my love.
Oh music, my music,
You are the poem that speaks it.
Oh first rain,
Oh first rain,
You are my beginning and my end,
Only you, my love...
