Lyrics & Translation
On nights when tears almost spill over
I want to hear your playful voice
Walking alone in the warm sunlit spot
There’s a loneliness that I can’t tame
On windy days, clouds rushing by
You ran ahead, trying to catch up
An ocean where the sound of waves echoes forever
Sand that jumps like singing, licking my feet
Just as rain clouds gather in a dry sky
On nights when tears almost spill over
I want to hear your playful voice
Tell me more about your gentle humor
Including countless silly jokes
Skillfully hiding sad stories
Tidying up the messy room of my heart
Your poetry was there to create space
We can’t be forever
Still, the echoes of our words linger
Like the fuss unraveling from a gathered flower
The world you see is gentle
I hum with a relaxed smile
Constellations we can't hold tight
Poetry crosses the distance of night’s separation
Just as rain clouds gather in a dry sky
On nights when tears almost spill over
The fridge makes a loud noise
I can’t hear your playful voice anymore
I’ll remember your humor
