How is it to be there? How lonely is it?
Is it still growing red at Sunset?
Are the birds still sing on their way to the forest?
Can you receive the letter I dared not send?
Can I convey the confession I dared not make?
Will time pass and roses fade?
Now it’s time to say goodbye!
Like the wind that lingers and then goes, just like shadows
To promises that never came
To the love sealed till the end,
To the grass kissing my weary ankles
And to the soundless footsteps following me
Now it’s time to say goodbye!
Now as darkness falls, will the candle be lit again?
Here I pray, nobody shall cry…
And for you to know…how deeply I loved you
The long wait in the middle of a hot summer day
An old path resembling my father’s face
Even the lonesome wild flower shyly turning away,
Now it’s time to say goodbye!
How deeply I loved
How my heart fluttered at hearing your faint song,
I bless you, before crossing the black river, with my soul’s last breath
I am beginning to dream a bright sunny morning again
I awake, blinded by the light.
Now it’s time to say goodbye!
