I

Life has awakened 

The wind has blown,

 

Your many tears have painted a rainbow in the sky

 

You have tried so hard

To smile in this world

​

A tiny sprout that broke the earth

Now reaches for the open sky

 

Good morning, step into the garden bare and free,

 

The wind sways leaves, flowers and fruits whispering in the breeze.

 

People, then and now, remain the same.

We feel joy, sorrow, and we love

 

You, born into this world,

What is the very first thing you feel?

 

You, who once ran above the clouds,

Are now here, taking shape and breathing.

 

You, who slept deep beneath the earth,

have emerged strong, lifting your hands toward the sky.

 

 

II

Life has withered

The wind has blown,

 

Your many smiles remain as warmth.

 

You have tried so hard

To live in this world.

 

The flower that bloomed from the earth

Has withered and returned.

 

What kind of place is above the clouds?

After losing this form here, what comes next?

 

You, who have returned to the earth,

Are you now waiting as a seed for the next life?

 

Life has sprouted, once again today.

 

Thank you for being born
