Wings have sprouted to fly away somewhere

Sleepless nights have slowly faded from my eyes

Memories long just to see you

Dreams are overflowing, how do I hold them all?

Pains have joined in, pinching me within

Moments of joy gather too, searching for you

To move past you, to go beyond you,

for a little time, across a little distance,

even for a single moment—could I ever do it?

Searching only for you, isn't it true,

that this longing, this path,

this journey, and this very life came to be?

Dreams are overflowing, how do I hold them all?

Pains have joined in, pinching me within

Moments of joy gather too, searching for you

Aaah... aah... aaah...

Aahaa.. aahahaa.. aahaha

Aaaaahaaah....

Oh river, asking where you are,

can't the riverbanks search for you?

Oh moon, asking where you are,

can't the clouds search for you?

On a rainy night, the song of a cuckoo—

who knows how it throbs with pain?

Lying deep in the lap of the ocean,

who can know the dreams of so many souls?

My beautiful one, where are you?

Wherever it hurts, my love, you are right there

My life, what are you doing?

You keep coming and going within my soul

My love, where has my heart gone?

Inside a flower... above the moon...

Beneath the fire...

Out in the open breeze... no, it isn't there!

In your eyes, in your breath,

in your nights, in your heart,

in your hands, inside your very life it lives...

Oh... Becoming a burden to myself,

I carried myself along...

Becoming a shadow just for you,

I came searching for you...

Watching the eyes fill with tears,

the eyelid never leaves them

When your soul aches and quivers,

my soul will never push you away

The whole world shrinks into a single dot...

My heart drifts away somewhere...

A flower bursts open in my soul...

Whether joy or pain, it crosses all limits...

Wings have sprouted to fly away somewhere

Sleepless nights have slowly faded from my eyes

Memories long just to see you

When one eyelid is drowned in honey,

and the other eyelid only aches in pain,

how can a dream ever be born between them?

To move past you, to go beyond you,

for a little time, across a little distance,

even for a single moment—could I ever do it?

Searching only for you, isn't it true,

that this longing, this path,

this journey, and this very life came to be?
