In the depths of the sadness I was given
In a rain of tears from thinking of you
Streaming down my cheeks without a sound
Someone will ask its meaning in song
Oh, where did you come from?
Oh, what do you watch over now?
Oh, where will you return to?
Will I be able to see those small eyes again?
Holding a multitude of emotions close
Tears make their way from the river to the sea
Often, you realized it
Singing praise to nature, tying life together
This one grain is for another’s sake
A seed watered by the rain over the land
A flower bloomed again
A river of tears, its creator unknown
Overflowing tears
Ascend to the sky after falling to earth!
Overflowing tears
Become the rain and go down the rivers!
Tears trickle down my cheeks
Please, tell me of their destination
There are days we cry, so there will be days we laugh
Simply going along with that feeling, obeying it
We understand our pain, so we’ll thank our sadness
Your tears soothed someone
I know they were somehow of help
So don’t cry needlessly!
From river to sea, then ascending to the sky again
From the clouds to rain, then reaching the earth again
If you think about it, this one drop of nature
Lives undaunted, in accordance with providence
Washing the unclean earth with tears
Once reborn, anything and everything will change
Why did a flower bloom there?
Today, somewhere, a rain of tears is falling again
Overflowing tears
Ascend to the sky after falling to earth!
Overflowing tears
Become the rain and go down the rivers!
The tears I shed
Drop by drop become rain
Watering the dried land
And reborn as stalks of rice
My sadness journeys
To somewhere far, far away
Sharing the path with this river of tears
It ascends to the sky
Overflowing tears
Ascend to the sky after falling to earth!
Overflowing tears
Become the rain and go down the rivers!
The tears I shed
Drop by drop become rain
Watering the dried land
And reborn as stalks of rice
