If the horizon becomes the rain,
You are the river flowing from it, girl.
Oh, like you, like you,
Who else is there in this world, girl?
Oh, you were born on this earth,
My walking flower.
To gather you close and shower you with love,
Won't my heart yearn?
Oh, you filled my heart,
Just like the falling rain.
Our bond will never change,
Isn't this enough?
If the horizon becomes the rain,
You are the river flowing from it, girl.
Oh, like you, like you,
Who else is there in this world, girl?
You are a beautiful flash of lightning,
You are an untamed wild fire.
Yet just to speak with me,
You hesitate.
To interlace our fingers,
To live out this lifetime together,
Just to break this silence,
You hold back.
Oh beauty, the very beauty of beauty,
Oh chill breeze washing over me in waves,
I am aching all alone,
The mistakes were mine after all.
Oh glowing flame, glowing flame,
May I come near you now?
Just once, with both your eyes,
Will you forgive me?
You are a beautiful flash of lightning,
You are an untamed wild fire.
Yet just to speak with me,
You hesitate.
To interlace our fingers,
To live out this lifetime together,
Just to break this silence,
You hold back.
Oh, all my dreams are of you, girl,
I have forgotten both day and night.
Oh, you entered right into my heart,
What more do I need now, my darling?
Look at my sleepless eyes, girl.
You reside in my restless soul, girl.
Deep within my soul is only your name, girl,
Listen to it calling out without stopping.
You are my dawn that is yet to break,
Give me a gentle smile, girl.
I am standing at the doorstep of longing,
Oh, come to me
And embrace me close.
Oh, all my dreams are of you, girl,
I have forgotten both day and night.
Oh, you entered right into my heart,
What more do I need now, my darling?
