Lyrics & Translation
Closing your eyes in the twilight
What could you be thinking?
You had your eyelids open
Your eyes are like glass marbles
I could smell a hint of clearing skies
Clear up, clear up, bloom, oh flowers
Blooming because of the clearing skies
Even the rain, if it stops falling
Is the clearing sky that adorns you
Oh sound that strikes the chest, die down
We are the clearing wind
Go beyond those clouds too
Far, still far away
You, like clear weather
Closing your eyes, the color blue
What could be sad?
You have your eyelids open
Glass marbles in your eyes
Now I could smell a hint of rain
Cry, oh cry, cry, oh sky
Crying because of the rain
Even the frequently falling rain
Is clear skies above the clouds
Oh sound that strikes the earth, resound
We are the spring storm
We'll go beyond that sea too
Far, still far away
A passing shower makes the grass sway
Cumulus clouds, that's also because of spring
Like the wind, carrying spring in my chest
Waiting for the clearing
Clear up, clear up, tear open, oh sky
Tearing open because of spring
Even the rain, if it stops falling
Is the clearing sky that adorns you
Let the sound that strikes the chest resound
We are the spring wind
The clearing wind heard in the sound
Now, oh this song, die down!
Clear up, clear up, bloom, oh flowers
Blooming because of spring
Go beyond those clouds too
Far, still far away
