Oh, these mountains, the sky, the stars…
The sounds of birds bring your scent to me from that long shoreline.
Let us not be mere shadows in the night, shall we?
Let us not mourn the seasons left unlived,
Amidst the weariness of memories.
I paint my reflection from the mirror onto my canvas
I hum songs for the two of us.
God has entrusted us to the mercy of joy
We became each other’s wings in this life that grows heavy.
We scattered the dust into the ocean
I wish you would weave me into your breath.
You, in whose breath I exist
We were passing through the same docks of solitude.
We were blind to everything, bewildered by the desert
You, who multiply me as my mirage fades.
Everything I see, everything I touch
It is you, there is only you, nothing but you.
You and I had become a single breath
Breathing in the spring from sunrise to sunset.
