Sample of the translated lyrics:[1]
- We all cease to be connected by dazzling chance meetings, I won't leave you again
- Here, we drew our fingertips, which once touched, back toward ourselves
- Your overly radiant form, and small whisper
- Seem to connect us together and heal us, who are tangled together...
- Because I won't pretend to give up
