As all sorts of thoughts arrive,
And pierce my heart and pass by,
As all sorts of thoughts arrive,
And pierce my heart and pass by,
Every word that you spoke
Becomes a holy scripture I chant,
Shall I discover myself in your eyes?
If you touch my shoulder, shall I swim away into the sky?
You gathered drops of honey into your speech,
And poured sweetness into my heart.
As all sorts of thoughts arrive...
Ooh... ooh...
And pierce my heart and pass by,
Ever since it brushed past you,
I felt a subtle change in the breeze.
Female: Adorned with fragrance and color,
I saw the gentle breeze come and stand before me.
Everywhere along our path,
Silence pinches at me;
Even so, let us travel long distances together.
Where is this journey headed?
What does it matter if it ends?
I will hold and support you
Until the moment I fall.
...
The moment I gently lean upon your shoulder,
A new umbilical cord begins to bloom.
Female: When my heart burns with a deep thirst,
Your lap becomes the comfort that cures it.
Mother, father, relatives,
And the bond tied to my very soul,
You have become everything to me.
Before the trace of my life fades away,
Just to gaze upon you,
I will stand praying.
As all sorts of thoughts arrive,
Female: As all sorts of thoughts arrive,
Male: And pierce my heart and pass by,
Female: And pierce my heart and pass by,
Every word that you spoke
Becomes a holy scripture I chant,
Female: Myself in your eyes,
Shall I discover?
Male: If you touch my shoulder,
Shall I swim away into the sky?
You gathered drops of honey into your speech,
Both: And poured sweetness into my heart.
