Just because a dewdrop falls,
the flame does not go out.
From far away, I found
everything meant for me.
When I talk with him,
what words could ever compare?
The distance between you and me,
without our eyes ever meeting...
Just because a dewdrop falls,
the flame does not go out.
From far away, I found
everything meant for me.
When I talk with him,
what words could ever compare?
The distance between you and me,
without our eyes ever meeting...
Aaaa... aaaa... aaaa... aa... aa...
My present and my future,
I know nothing about them...
The love of an unseen girl
does not dissolve in tears...
If you touch me, like rain
I will drizzle softly.
Even in my sleep, your name
I will utter.
When I look up,
the sky burns like a wound of fire.
If your glance just touches me,
I will go on living.
When I talk with him,
what words could ever compare?
The distance between you and me,
without our eyes ever meeting...
For the two of us to unite,
age stands as an untouchable barrier.
Even if God Himself gave it to me,
I would not want it.
The dream you see is not this girl.
She cannot nourish your love.
I for you, and you for me...
why then this heartache?
The distance between you and me,
without our eyes ever meeting...
Aaaa... aaaa... aaaa... aaaa...
Haa... aaaa... aaaa... aa... aa...
Haa... aaaa... aaaa... aaaa... aa... aa...
Haa... aaaa... aa.. aa..
