O sky, O rain clouds,

O sky, O rain clouds,
Come sing your sweet music here!
Longing hearts have come together,
O sweet joy, come seeking this place!
O sky, O rain clouds,
Come sing your sweet music here!
The gentle floral breeze,
Na-na-na
And the golden clouds,
Na-na-na
Whisper something sweet into my heart.
The fragrance of flowers,
Na-na-na
And your tender love,
Na-na-na
Tease and stir me without a word.
Hundreds of desires
La-la-la
Glimmer in my eyes,
La-la-la
An unquenched longing arises,
Is this not the moment to sing?
O sky, O rain clouds,
Come sing your sweet music here!
La la laal la
Longing hearts have come together,
O sweet joy, come seeking this place!
O sky, O rain clouds,
Come sing your sweet music here!
Aaha aaha... aa...
Aah haah ha
Aaha aaha... aa...
Aah haah ha
Laalla la laalla la
Laalla la laalla laalla laal la
Within the depths of our hearts,
Na-na-na
In the thoughts that dance within,
Na-na-na
There is always pure joy.
In those moments
Na-na-na
When we become one,
Na-na-na
My heart finds peace only with you.
In this cool breeze,
La-la-la
Beside the bright red flower,
La-la-la
An unspoken longing arrives
To steal the heart—is this not the moment?
O sky, O rain clouds,
Come sing your sweet music here!
O sky, O rain clouds,
Come sing your sweet music here!
Aa... aa... aa... aa...
Longing hearts have come together,
O sweet joy, come seeking this place!
