My revolution on which I walk alone How many things I found out when I met you Such as gentleness and sadness The canvas which enlightens my heart Is getting damaged and becoming dirty But on it, a faint emotion began to be drawn Your voice, your hair Even if we meet after a thousand years, I'll still remember you Like the number of stars in the sky, Please, give me more recollections Of that day, for tomorrow 'Cause I can't erase you from me Forever, full up my love This generation that kept on fighting Is hiding the power of their tears In the bottom of the smiling face Which asks for something Your eyes and your fingertips you are reborn, and even so I still can look for them. Like the number of stars in the sky, I met loves and I met dreams, however Piling up unchangeable feelings I want to go with you, Forever full up my love. I let down my hair and look up orion I can feel you far As if you are denying me Your voice, your hair Even if we meet after a thousand years, I'll still remember you Like the number of stars in the sky, Please, give me more recollections Of that day, for tomorrow 'Cause I can't erase you from me Forever, full up my love
