Who has ever seen perfection in the sky?
Who has truly lived all of life?
We only came here to reach our destination,
To say our thanks through tears.
Sounds, the gentle sounds of life,
Will light a lamp in an honest heart.
Affection alone is enough,
The colors of love will paint our lives.
We borrowed our breath from the wind,
And when our days end, we return it and go.
Whether it is family by blood,
Or bonds made along the way,
Everything is an illusion.
In this hour,
And in this very second,
Both of us will reach our end.
Loving hearts,
With gentle fingers,
Will stroke our hair.
In an innocent heart,
For other colors to blend
Is the curse of this world.
Words that carry sweet fragrance,
Who can truly understand them?
The love of a singing cuckoo,
Who can ever paint that?
Like a leaf upon a river,
We drift along our journey.
To the trees along the banks,
We bid our farewell.
Simple... souls... we journey toward our end.
Who has ever seen perfection in the sky?
Who has truly lived all of life?
We only came here to reach our destination,
To say our thanks through tears.
Sounds, the gentle sounds of life,
Will light a lamp in an honest heart.
Affection alone is enough,
The colors of love will paint our lives...
We borrowed our breath from the wind,
And when our days end, we return it and go.

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This soulful song reflects deeply on the impermanent nature of life, human relationships, and ultimate destiny. It poses existential questions about whether anyone can ever achieve complete perfection or total fulfillment in life. Using poignant imagery, the song portrays human life as a temporary journey, where breath itself is merely borrowed from the wind and returned upon departure. Relationships and worldly attachments are described as illusions, yet affection, empathy, and genuine love remain the guiding forces that brighten the soul. Ultimately, the lyrics convey acceptance of life's transient journey, comparing human souls to leaves drifting down a river, bidding farewell to the banks as they move toward their final resting place.
