Life is like the sky,
Relationships are like the clouds in it,
Only friendship is like the sun!
Long live friendship!
More than what my parents understood,
More than what others ever knew,
Friendship understood me completely.
Long live friendship!
Between a man and a woman,
Pure friendship is the truest bond.
Come, my friend... oh my friend!
Who saw me as a fellow human,
You are the first man.
Come, my friend... oh my friend!
Who saw me as a fellow human,
You are the first woman.
Ho.. oh.. ho.. ho.. hoho..
Ho.. oh.. ho.. ho.. hoho..
In the nest of clouds,
We were raindrops.
Falling down here,
We became rivers.
As single individuals here,
We grew into many,
And joining together as many,
We became one.
When lightning strikes,
Even clouds are torn apart,
Yet the vast sky
Can never be torn.
Just like that sky,
Our friendship too
Will live on forever.
Like an evening shadow,
This bond keeps growing longer;
Lost in wonder,
The heart overflows with joy.
Come, my friend... oh my friend!
Who saw me as a fellow human,
You are the first man.
Come, my friend... oh my friend!
Who saw me as a fellow human,
You are the first woman.
I was worthless like a rough stone,
Through friendship, I became a sculpture.
Until yesterday, I was just a dot,
Because of you all, I became a word.
The fear and shyness I carried
Have run away and vanished;
The closeness of your love gave me this.
The bitterness and grudges in the heart
Have all faded away completely;
A heart like rock has softened,
And now understands the warmth of bonding.
Come, my friend... oh my friend!
Who saw me as a fellow human,
You are the first man.
Come, my friend... oh my friend!
Who saw me as a fellow human,
You are the first woman.
Ho.. oh.. ho.. ho.. hoho..
Ho.. oh.. ho.. ho.. hoho..
