[English]

If joy awaits on the other side of this bridge,

then so be it.

Feeling the pain as the wind blows,

it's okay to cry now, cry for me.

If joy awaits on the other side of this bridge,

then so be it.

Feeling the pain as the wind blows,

it's okay to cry now, cry for me.

I feel so strongly towards you,

yet I feel so insecure and lost.

I doubt your love is just a fleeting moment,

could it really all just end like this?

You feel like comfort within a sail,

but also like the wind, uncontrollable.

Like the scent of perfume scattered on my palm,

like love isn't something you can hold onto.

You feel like comfort within a sail,

but also like the wind, uncontrollable.

Like the scent of perfume scattered on my palm,

like love isn't something you can hold onto…
