I left the blurry corner
Where the steps are never shine
Your soul aches for the owner
Of that masked face in the shade
Nana korobi ya oki
Gogo wa ame ga furu so desu yo
Chotto onegai ga arun desu kedo
Kaimono ni tsukiatte kuremasenka
Subarashii nagame desu ne
Ike no naka ni mo utsutte te
Jikan ga tatsu no wa hayai desu ne
Hontoni tanoshikatta desu, iroiro, arigato
The flowers' hopes are blowing toward the East of Eden
For the love has time for embracing in their hearts
Come and rest with me, my queen's guards
Let us hear doves each other singing
(dedicated to a poet friend, Noel Horlanda)
