Oh, shall I offer my heart?
Oh, shall I touch it gently so it will not break?
Oh, let us forget all our sorrows,
and fly up high, nice and slow.
Oh, have wings spread across the heart?
Oh, come, open up slowly!
Oh, were we born joined together?
What did we leave behind and move past?
When the heart goes out of control,
shall I lend a hand to lift it up?
Through every moment we haven't seen,
shall I cross over and keep coming?
Come wipe away the tears spilling from my eyes,
come wipe them just a little.
If even tears turn sweet, will the world ever leave them be?
Because of you, I discovered a bond that stays like a shadow,
carrying memories, let us walk a long way.
This life is a puzzle that changes all on its own,
forgetting the world, let us cross into new horizons.
A teardrop from the sky,
the mist on the window—they do not last forever, friend.
Leaving all of that behind,
isn't it time for every wound to dissolve in the breeze?
Rain cannot reach a mother's lap without falling;
if I ever fall to the ground,
come as a friend to catch me and hold me up.
When our eyes well up with tears,
they never have to tell the fingers to wipe them.
When I walk beside you, I even love the paths we take.
There is nothing greater than this.
However many times we might have cried,
just as many times we forgot it all.
Our care for each other is never too much,
nor is what we share ever small.
We have cherished every passing moment.
Because of you, I discovered a bond that stays like a shadow,
carrying memories, let us walk a long way.
This life is a puzzle that changes all on its own,
the light called love blends into both the night and day.
Because of you, I discovered a bond that stays like a shadow,
carrying memories, let us walk a long way.
This life is a puzzle that changes all on its own,
the light called love blends into both the night and day.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This song from 'Sarbath' is an uplifting meditation on companionship, emotional healing, and the unpredictable journey of life. It speaks of a bond so deeply comforting that even painful paths become enjoyable when walked together. The lyrics encourage letting go of past sorrows, likening emotional healing to wounds dissolving into the wind and recognizing that life's troubles are merely temporary like frost on a window pane. Ultimately, the song frames life as a self-transforming puzzle where neither distant goals nor present struggles define happiness. Instead, true solace comes from the enduring light of love and friendship that stands by a person like a shadow, constant through every night and day.
