English
I put together the words that were dried up

And all that I wanted to do was convey my simple feelings

That sombre wind was blowing on that day

I threw it into the ruins of yesterday

And now, smiling, I can live with you

Yeah!

But this affair will crucify you

So that's why we have to say goodbye

As it is now, we will try to know each other until nothing remains

And someday we will realise that that's all there is to it

The sadness will flow down our cheeks and become a river of tears

That quivering feeling will become a strong whirl and fuse together

Baby
