Dialogue : ………………….
Shall I blend into the gentle breeze and sing, my heart?
We can float upon the waves of water
Shall I blend into love and dissolve away, oh time?
We can slip into the grains of sand
Stepping onto the shore and crossing the sea, your...
...search itself is pure joy
Pressing you to my lips and losing my way, my...
...dawn is pure joy
The sea foam does not reveal the depths
There is no magnet in the fingertips
As I search for life on a map
As your wave ripples like the tip of a leaf
The sea foam does not reveal the depths
There is no magnet in the fingertips
As I search for life on a map
As your wave ripples like the tip of a leaf
[Carnatic vocalization]
As the sun begins to set, my beloved,
Will you come sleep upon my lap?
Seeking the path where the birds fly,
Will my eyelashes be drenched with tears?
As your scent in the foam draws me in,
Searching for you is pure joy
Even when the footprints disappear,
Searching for you is pure joy
The sea foam does not reveal the depths
There is no magnet in the fingertips
As I search for life on a map
As your wave ripples like the tip of a leaf
The sea foam does not reveal the depths
There is no magnet in the fingertips
As I search for life on a map
As your wave ripples like the tip of a leaf
