“I heard raindrops falling in the green grass, I heard the bell ringing from afar,
But I did not hear your voice, earnestly calling my name.
When I fell in love with you, I still didn’t understand (my) feelings,
Only after you left, I felt that you were engraved in my heart,
Why didn’t I realize that meeting you was the best thing in my life?
Perhaps at the time I was (too) busy smiling and crying,
(And too) busy chasing those shooting stars in the sky,
People naturally forget, who is in the wind and rain always silently watching over from the original place.
As it turns out, you are the fortune that I want to keep the most,
As it turns out, we once came close to (being in) love,
(Your) determination to oppose the world for me, (you) accompanied me in the pouring rain,
Every scene is always you, spotless sincere heart.
I am so lucky to have met you, but I also lost the right to shed tears for you,
In the horizon that I can’t see, if only it were possible for you to stretch out your wings, and meet your destiny,
She will be so fortunate.
Youth is a staggering, stumbling segment of the journey,
Possessing a hindsight of beauty,
It’s too late to be thankful, it was you who gave me courage, and allowed me to go back to being myself.
Perhaps at that time I was (to) busy and crying,
(And too) busy chasing those shooting stars in the sky,
People naturally forget, who is in the wind and rain always silently watching over from the original place.
As it turns out, you are the fortune that I want to keep the most,
As it turns out, we once came so close to (being in) love,
(Your) determination to oppose the world for me, (you) accompanied me in the pouring rain,
Every scene is always you, spotless sincere heart.
I am so lucky to have met you, but I also lost the right to shed tears for you,
In the horizon that I can’t see, if only it were possible for you to stretch out your wings, and meet your destiny,
Woah, she will be so fortunate.”

“The flowers that bloom in the spring are plucked in the summer sun,
Within my heart, their shine remains.
Even on days I close my windows to shut out the morning rain,
Fluttering within my chest, the light breaks through the clouds.
Happiness and sadness, I’ll embrace all of it and continue walking forward;
They are what strongly connects my hand and yours.
Fall is by the waterfront, winter is hidden in the tips of branches;
There is unlimited kindness deep in this world.
Each time night falls, let us offer up a prayer,
So we can welcome each day with peace.
A far, far away voice guides me,
As if it’s smiling, as if it’s singing, the echoing sound of the world.
Happiness and sadness, I’ll embrace all of it and continue walking forward;
They are what strongly connects my hand and yours.”

“Beneath a veil so cold, you deeply sleep, all alone.
The melody of prayer on the lonely fields, a little light shined.
I watched as you dreamed, you laughed like a child,
So dear, and yet so far — that is the promise of our future.
That one day on a green morning, one day we will make it there,
Because in this wintered sky, we still believe — fields of hope.
On the day we were born, we were embraced,
And now we search for those gentle hands again.
The melody of prayer, one vanishes,
And all begins again; a powerless, painful continuation.
One day, to that green morning, we’ll cross through all these nights,
Because that is the place each one of us searches for.
Now, within my own heart, I want to keep you warm,
So dear, and yet so far — in the name of peace, fields of hope.
So dear, and yet so far — the fields of promise, fields of hope (fields of hope).”

“Life blooms like a flower, far away or by the road,
Waiting for the one, to find the way back home.
Rain falls a a thousand times, no footprints of come-and-go,
You who once went by, where will you belong?
I feel your sign and breath, in the last blow of wind,
Not yet for the story on the last page, it’s not the end.
Life blooms like a flower, far away or by the road,
Waiting for the one, to find the way back home.
Time flows across the world, there is always a longer way to go,
Till I reach your arms — a madder there for you.
Up against the stream, waterways will join as one,
Tracing to the source, no more strayed or lost,
You will see petals fly, when lament becomes carol,
Could you please hear my voice that hungers for a duo?
Life blooms like a flower, far away or by the road,
Waiting for the one, to find the way back home.
Time flows across the world, there is always a longer way to go,
Till I reach your arms — a madder there for you.
Life blooms like a flower, far away or by the road,
Waiting for the one, to find the way back home.
Time flows across the world, there is always a longer way to go,
Till I reach your arms — a madder there for you.”

“Why do people pledge their lives to each other in a moment of deep emotion? Before embrace, after parting, are our souls forever bound together?
Why do people have the courage to fall in love at first sight? This step in the sea of people leads to another long journey.
I give you a promise: If life turns to ashes in this second,
Can you return to me the world we shared in that season of love?
Butterflies dance in my dreams.
I am also willing to pledge my life to you with a heart full of emotion; Before embrace, after parting, our souls will be intertwined forever.
I can also fall in love at first sight with courage; This step in the sea of people marks the beginning of another long journey.
Give me a promise: If life turns to ashes in this second,
Can you give me back the world, the season we loved each other?
Butterflies dance in my dreams.
Continue, I want our love to continue tomorrow, even if it means shedding tears;
How many seasons can be wasted? Longing and hesitation will only lead to endless regret.
Give me a promise: If life turns to ashes in this second,
Can you give me back the world, the season we loved each other?
Not only butterflies danced in my dream.”

“I feel the sad distance.
For the first time, I am searching for your heart.
Protecting the time when we were always together;
Hey, I’m scared of being alone.
Time flows the same for everyone,
Now I’m sleeping and crying; I want to see your smile.
I will hold on to the overflowing feelings of love,
Don’t divert your eyes, look at me properly — I believe.
Yes, no one knows the pair’s feelings,
A strong, beautiful time — the blue ocean.
Those arms, that chest, I am living.
Tomorrow people will meet and break up; It will repeat as they walk.
I want to somehow connect with you and take eternity; I have only one love.
I will hold on to the overflowing feelings of love,
As soon as possible, I want to report this love.
Now, I need nothing — your heart advances,
It’s possible if it’s the two of us — I am not afraid.
This time together, I will protect you.”

“My unfolded wings will not reach, I look up and the sky is too far away.
I who cannot fly search for wings, and wander on foot upon this earth.
Oh blue sky, how far must I go? (Together with the clouds, ah, I follow you),
How far must I go to find peace? (Ah, my heart).
Oh, cold wind, take this feeling,
I am tired, broken wings of mine.
I wish you to deliver me to my love.
Oh, blue moon, all this darkness (Together with the stars, ah, covers everything),
All this darkness, wipe it away (Ah, my heart).
Oh, light, somehow we’ll meet again,
For the sake of my lover’s smile.
Please light the way to my love.”

“Raining, on a summer afternoon; rain showering under an umbrella.
Kissing, on a wet cheek, I gently placed a kiss —
That season, I’m still longing for.
Miss you, outside the window; sceneries fading away into the distance,
Breezing, I saw a rainbow; it’s going to disappear soon —
Rain, I hope it doesn’t fall tomorrow.
I can’t do anything, days filled with absentmindedness,
Nothing, but you’re the part of me.
It’s still not enough, it still won’t disappear; youthful innocence is still in the palms of our intertwined hands.
What a good thing we lose, what a bad thing we knew; I get wet by such phrases in the midst of rain.
It’s just not enough, I still cannot say; counted the days of my bids of farewell within dreams.
What a good thing we lose, what a bad thing we knew; if you had never impacted me, I wonder if I could have still smiled?
Calling, white breaths soaring beneath the sky.
Freezing, strong winds biting slightly at my hands,
Showing my weakness, my hands go inside my pockets.
No matter where I look, the days have passed me by,
Nothing, but you’re the part of me.
I want to touch you again, but you’re so radiant; involuntarily, I turned my eyes away from the light of your kindness.
I wanna to sleep in your feel, I wanna see you in the deep; these phrases lined up the verses I sing now.
That way back home, swayed by the bus; I saw a dream that could never come true.
I wanna sleep in your feel, I wanna see you in the deep; in the refrain (constant repetition) of seasons I am still unfamiliar with it.
If I could have been a bit more mature, what could I have said?
It’s still not enough, it still won’t disappear; youthful innocence is still in the palms of our intertwined hands.
What a good thing we lose, what a bad thing we knew; I get wet by phrases in the midst of rain.
It’s just not enough. I still cannot say; counted the days of my bids of farewell within dreams.
What a good thing we lose, what a bad thing we knew; if you had never impacted me, I wonder if I could have still smiled?”

“I have let you go today, when this whole town would be swallowed by the burning sunset.
I am worried about tomorrow, so worried — so swallow me as well sunset.
But I know it will not happen, tomorrows come like crazy;
I can’t stop laughing in sleepy night, knowing it.
Let’s go home, let's go home alone; let’s believe that everything happened yesterday is illusion.
I’ll forget your face — but it’s stupid isn’t it? Don’t you think so?
The days that don’t have you, this tiredness,
My heart and my body are fighting, I feel helpless and I just laid myself.
You have become a cat right? Please come to my side whenever you like,
Please dye the usual days with your color.
I have let you go today, when this whole town would be swallowed by the burning sunset.
Do you think it is possible that we meet again, in a fresh situation even though we are too young?
If it is just a hope, I feel desperate.
I don’t want to get home, the speed of my walking is same as the speed when I was with you.
I am tied by many memories, and I sign every time I think about you,
Fool me, laugh me.
The days I don’t have you are so boring, that it makes me feel funny.
I am trying to forget you with all my heart, but I am needing you with all my heart.
You have become a cat right? Please let me heart that voice someday,
And hope you comfort me being contradict and cracked.
The days that don’t have you, this tiredness,
My heart and my body are fighting, I feel helpless and I just laid myself.
You have become a cat right? Please come to my side whenever you like,
Please dye the usual days with your color.
If you are an abandoned cat, I will hold you in my arms,
If you are injured, I will heal you, I will give you all warmth I have.
I miss you so much that I can’t forget about you, I want to see you,
If you came to my side, I would be happy again.”

“Right now, I just want to know it’s not eternal, even though I always want to look at it that way.
I’ll become that sky full of paper airplanes — and I’ll search for only one.
Thank you, I’m able to stretch out something so necessary as love,
I’ll laugh and if I can enjoy the distance between us, despite it all, it’ll be fine.
“I don’t know” was your answer, so let’s blow bubbles,
Even though they’ll definitely burst before they reach the sky.
Right now, I just want to know it’s not eternal, even though I always want to look at it that way.
I’ll become that sky full of paper airplanes — and I’ll search for only one.
I want to tell you from the large amount of feelings,
You can’t see me, so within that world, what am I able to become?
I just want to know it’s not eternal, even though I always want to look at it that way.
I’ll become that sky full of paper airplanes — but it seems like I’ll start crying.
The two of us; if we could agree just a little more,
And look just a little longer, for the swaying flower of love.”

“Why have I completely forgotten how to love?
Someday, our meetings will come with the beginning of parting — somehow, I have decided upon that idea.
You tied the loose shoelaces of my dirty sneakers,
Your shy smile suddenly shone in the sunlight.
It’s not that I love for want of love, you gave me the courage to love straightforwardly.
From now on, the two sear to the journey, that no matter what happens, these two hands will never part.
It’s weird, the ordinary landscape begins to seem special.
Such as the flowers, birds, ocean, wind, mountains, and the sweet sun — everything seems to shine within.
I found the last piece of the unsolvable jigsaw puzzle,
Your broad back protects me, and I’ll continue to follow you for eternity.
Up until now, I’ve taken the long way around; I’m finally able to love straightforwardly.
The two will head towards tomorrow’s dream.
No matter what happens, the gaze won’t shift away.
It’s not that I love for want of love, you gave me the courage to love straightforwardly.
The two will head towards tomorrow’s dream.
No matter what happens, the gaze won’t shift away.
It’s not that I love for want of love, you gave me the courage to love straightforwardly.
From now on, the two swear to the journey,
That no matter what happens, these two hands will never part.”

“My mail to you arrived safely and it’s still there,
The light that turned on when I opened the door makes my heart turn gloomy.
Saying goodbye is a joke, act surprised with a playful face; please.
I muttered “I’m home” — in the unchanged sight, you are not alone.
If you are honest with love, will all my feelings be conveyed?
To the shimmering stars that gently flowed on my cheeks, will my yearning prayer come true?
I went on a trip together last year, a long vacation will come again.
“Next, I want to see the town where you were born,” I promised.
The room where no one is messing around, sadly clean and tidy.
The messy memories; I can’t finish it, and my heart can’t take it.
I can live alone, I hate getting better.
I’m weak, no one knows — will you meet someone someday?
I found a lost wristwatch in my hand,
Relentlessly, the carved time will never return again.
If you are honest with love, will all my feelings be conveyed?
To the shimmering stars that gently flowed on my cheeks, will my prayer come true?
Your voice that said “welcome back” is still here,
You can hear it if you close your eyes.”

“How are you? Have you found someone special for your life?
Will your dreams come true someday? On this path ahead.
Do you still remember the swaying wheat spikes, that evening glow,
The horizon, the endless sky, that you kept searching for?
Struggling to paint tomorrow, now into the world of dreams.
The radiance of intangible things,
Please embrace gently, and keep moving forward.
Are you still smiling, like that day with innocent eyes?
Perhaps there have been cold, lonely nights, and damp, rainy mornings,
Surely, you have faced them right?
The town of your hometown, if there’s a place to return, it’s right here.
And it always will be so, I will keep waiting for you forever.
Don’t stop drawing the future, now, into the world of dreams.
The warmth from your loved ones will never fade away — and keep moving forward.
People wandering and swaying, they keep on walking.
Wanting to witness the brilliance of moments that will never repeat.
Struggling to paint tomorrow, now in the world of dreams,
The radiance of intangible things,
Please embrace gently, and keep moving forward.”

“Tired of people at the end of the day, I don’t care anymore — it must be fine.
Even if I remain alone like this, it will eventually flow — nevermind, it must be fine.
I didn’t wanna play, I didn’t wanna date. I didn’t wanna say I just wanna sleep,
Until the day before I met you.
If you turn around, I’ll approach you, I’ll hold onto you tightly.
I want to invite only you, the only one in my room; no matter what they say.
Oh, you always lit my shadow, and the one who shares my sorrow,
With you, with you, with you it’s different — I don’t know why, it just is.
I’m tired of the same line, I heard through every grape vine,
Broken records screaming in time, “you’ll be fine, you’ll be fine”.
People come and pass by, even though I wished they stay mine,
So many broken records scream in my mind, “I’ll be fine”.
I always pushed away, always pushed away,
Scared they’d go away, so I watched them leave,
Didn’t say nothing, but with you I think it’s different.
If you ever tell me you gotta go, I’ll be the firs to ask you where.
If ou say you need me no more, then I might have to stop you there; no matter what they say.
Oh, you always lit my shadow, I’ve let love lose all of my battles,
But you, with you, with you, with you it’s different — I don’t know, it just is (I don’t know, it just is).”
