Japanese lyrics

English translation

Kaze ni ki no ha ga maiochite kokoro o sepia no kaete mo
Attaka na aa anata no koe ga kikoeru
Hosoi sono te o sashinobete furisosoide hohoemi no
Manazashi ni yadoru kage nugutte agetai

Nageki no ame ni utareteru ima mo
Shitoyaka ni hitoshirazu sakihokoru lotus

Om boda roshani sowaka, Om boda roshani sowaka
Hi no tori no tsubasa de
Kakegae no nai mono o shiroi sono hanabira o
Towa no idakou

Irozuku toki o mochinagara mizumo ni tozasu sono tsubomi
Sazameite yurasu nami mamotte agetai

Awai hikari ni yomigaeru asa wa
Shitoyaka ni kiyoraka ni sakihokoru lotus

Om boda roshani sowaka, Om boda roshani sowaka
Hi no tori no tsubasa de
Futatabi no haru o matsu shiroi sono hanabira o
Towa ni idakou

Om boda roshani sowaka, Om boda roshani sowaka
Hi no tori no tsubasa de
Futatabi no haru o matsu shiroi sono hanabira o
Towa ni idakou
The wind blows the leaves off the trees and turns my heart sepia
I can hear your voice from far away
I want to wipe away the shadow
that falls across your slender hand and smiling face

Now, under the crying rain
The pure lotus petals rain down unseen

Om boda roshani sowaka, Om boda roshani sowaka
On the wings of the firebird
The pure white petals, something that can't be replaced
Embrace it for eternity

While waiting for their colorful times, the flower buds fall on the water
I want to protect them as they ride the rising waves

The pales light brings morning
The pure, clear lotus petals rain down

Om boda roshani sowaka, Om boda roshani sowaka
On the wings of the firebird
The white petals waiting for the spring
Embrace it for eternity

Om boda roshani sowaka, Om boda roshani sowaka
On the wings of the firebird
The white petals waiting for the spring
Embrace it for eternity
