translated by Em
Life is like a dream that leaves hearts shattered
Facing the falling blossom as my tears fall
Why does love flow away like water
Into the river where it cannot be chased
Helpless shreds of emotion that cannot be thrown away
Sighing that the strong gales make the flower petals fly
Love and honour fade into smoke
That rises beyond the skies
Wrong to let love make tears flow for a lifetime
As past lovers forsake the winter promises
With tears watching the distant green mountains
Hatred and longing turn to despair
Endless depths of love are turned away
Taking me here with whom does hatred lie
But meeting once again with the violent rain and wind
That batters the fallen flower to pieces
