Like the horizon,
you were always there.
Even if you are far away, my eyes
long to see you.
Like the horizon,
you were always there.
Even if you are far away, my eyes
long to see you. But enough,
enough, it is enough.
Do not drift away.
The time that slips away
will never return.
Shall we now create a love
that conquers time?
Like the horizon,
you were always there.
Even if you are far away, my eyes
long to see you.
Even if you do not look at me,
why do I feel the trace of your gaze?
Even if you do not speak to me,
why is there a trace of me in your words?
Do not hold back, come forward,
speak without hiding, my dear.
Even if kept hidden, it spreads its fragrance,
just like a flower of love.
Enough of this pretense,
we cannot wait any longer for the right time.
My love, living in this
present moment,
I will forget all
the sorrows that come.
You will give me the sweet nectar of love,
won't you?
Like the horizon,
you were always there.
Even if you are far away, my eyes
long to see you.
Time walks on the footsteps of love,
and I can walk along with it.
A gaze that speaks like a flowing spring
can heal yesterday's wounds.
If I have your closeness,
my future will become clear.
Without needing any remedies,
it shows a path to live.
Through the gentle breeze of my longing,
the horizon of my sky blooms.
Even if the rain falls upon me
and my heart shivers with love,
you are the flame that lights up my troubles.
Like the horizon,
you were always there.
Even if you are far away, my eyes
long to see you.
