[English]
The sky is on the ground
The sky doesn't fall from above
It's the light and darkness
The sky that touches the ground
And the sky that reaches high
Both sides have joined hands
Just like I did too
Only to understand
What the voice of life comes to say
That the arms feel and the eyes see
That the lips are two whole rivers
Without direction
The sun is the foot and the hand
The sun is the mother and the father
It dissolves the darkness
The sun sets, it goes away
And after it sets, the sun is reborn in Japan
I saw too
Just to understand
In the voice, I heard life say
That the arms feel and the eyes see
And the lips kiss, two whole rivers
Without direction
And my place is here
Next to you, in your whole body
I give my place, for your place
Is my first love
The day and night, the four seasons
The sky is on the ground
The sky doesn't fall from above
It's the light and darkness
The sky that touches the ground
And the sky that reaches high
Both sides have joined hands
Just like I did too
Only to understand
What the voice of life comes to say
That the arms feel and the eyes see
And the lips kiss, two whole rivers
Without direction
And my place is here
Next to you, in your whole body
I give my place, for your place
Is my first love
The day and night, the four seasons
That the arms feel and the eyes see
And the lips be two whole rivers
Without direction
That the arms feel and the eyes see
And the lips kiss two whole rivers
Without direction
