Even the gentle breeze changes
Even the moon changes
A change will surely come to you too
Like a magic spell, the sweet little cuckoo
Will bring that news one day
Even the gentle breeze changes
Even the moon changes
A change will surely come to you too
Like a magic spell, the sweet little cuckoo
Will bring that news one day
Should I bring about this change myself?
Or will it happen on its own?
O breeze that rocks each flower to sleep, tell me
Inspire hope in everyone with your song
Even the gentle breeze changes
Even the moon changes
A change will surely come to you too
Like a magic spell, the sweet little cuckoo
Will bring that news one day
Through whom, and for whose sake,
Do changes take place?
Just as the land shapes the flow of water,
A river finds its path
Through whom, and for whose sake,
Do changes take place?
Just as the land shapes the flow of water,
A river finds its path
May your life flow smoothly
Like a peaceful river
May the lamps of hope
Dance beautifully
There is a pearl inside the oyster,
Dive into the water and search for it
There is a seed for success too,
Dive deep inside yourself and search for it
Finding it alone is not enough,
To turn it into sweet fruit
If you just sit idle,
Nothing here will happen on its own
Even the gentle breeze changes
Even the moon changes
A change will surely come to you too
Like a magic spell, the sweet little cuckoo
Will bring that news one day
Where parrots come to peck at fruit,
Plant a mango grove
Where squirrels play and cuddle,
Set up a canopy of flowers
Where parrots come to peck at fruit,
Plant a mango grove
Where squirrels play and cuddle,
Set up a canopy of flowers
Do not think of yourself as just a crescent,
You will shine as the full moon
Even if you are only a tiny seed today,
You will give shade like a grand banyan tree
A sculpture is shaped by striking hands,
Emerging as the chisel strikes again and again
Carve yourself into a sculpture,
Are you just an ordinary rock?
Everything will work out well,
Your dreams will come true
The bright stars in the morning sky
Will send you their blessings
Even the gentle breeze changes
Even the moon changes
A change will surely come to you too
Like a magic spell, the sweet little cuckoo
Will bring that news one day
Should I bring about this change myself?
Or will it happen on its own?
O breeze that rocks each flower to sleep, tell me
Inspire hope in everyone with your song
Even the gentle breeze changes
Even the moon changes
A change will surely come to you too
Like a magic spell, the sweet little cuckoo
Will bring that news one day
