I used to pass so many ways and used to see the world
And tender winds ironed my face.
But only when I returned back at home,
I was the happiest man in the world.

And even if I leave you for one day
I sadly miss You.
I think, my edge, that if You weren't exist,
I couldn't live in this world.

And even if I leave You for one day
I feel like an orphan.
Just only your beautiful life
Is the charming of the world.
