Silent eyes are speaking
Oh, my heart is racing forward
Honeyed lips well with sweetness
Yearning fingers reach to touch
You appeared in love
My sky is fading away
Oh flower, sweet flower
Oh, my beloved flower
Oh flower, sweet flower
Oh, my beloved flower
Ah, your scent drifts with the breeze
Onto me
Without you even colliding into me,
why this clash inside?
Music that the eyes behold,
my eyes...
Oh, is it a shattered mirror,
my heart?
Time is a flowing river,
forever
My sky is fading away
Oh flower, sweet flower
Oh, my beloved flower
Oh flower, sweet flower
Oh, my beloved flower
As I go searching for a high,
only the breeze appears every time
Wondering what the breeze seeks,
my wandering mind becomes its own high
You appeared in love
Come directly before me
Oh flower, sweet flower
Oh, my beloved flower
Oh flower, sweet flower
Oh, my beloved flower...
