[English]
I want to water my flower
...
I want to take care of you
...
Let me enter the garden
Let me go back to sleep
...
I want to water my flower
To give you back the peace I lost
I want to unveil the sad part that exists in you
Let me exist in a new space that you awakened in me
Don't you see that it's our garden that made us?
Don't you see that it's for us the garden that makes us?
Ah look, this cold makes me shiver
Ah stay, and bring back what you have
Because it's mine
Don't you see that it's our garden that made us?
Don't you see that it's for us the garden that makes us?
Ah look, this river makes it grow
Ah stay, and bring back what you have because it's mine
Because it's mine
...
Because it's mine
...
