Come to me, my crescent moon
My life's sweet companion
Come to me, my crescent moon
My life's sweet companion
Opening up every horizon
Let us fly away
My life, my crescent moon
Let us live together, my sweet companion
Opening up every horizon
Let us fly away
The earth spins and the wind swirls
Yet there is no way for me to breathe
When even a butterfly gets to live
Is there no room for me to live?
Time is on our side
Why should there be tears anymore?
To hold back an ocean
We have our two hands
Time is on our side
Why should there be tears anymore?
To hold back an ocean
We have our two hands
Come to me, my crescent moon
My life's sweet companion
Come to me, my crescent moon
My life's sweet companion
Exchanging flower garlands
Exchanging kisses on our bed
Shall we wake up in the morning,
My sweet-voiced love?
Sharing our bodies through the night
Adorning you anew by day
Shall we continue our romance,
My beautiful soul?
Building a nest within my chest,
My love, I will cherish and keep you safe
Deep in the water,
what have you created?
As a protective shield for your soul,
I will always be there
Come to me, my crescent moon
My life's sweet companion
Opening up every horizon
Let us fly away
My life, my crescent moon
Let us live together, my sweet companion
Opening up every horizon
Let us fly away
The earth spins and the wind swirls
Yet there is no way for me to breathe
When even a butterfly gets to live
Is there no room for me to live?
