(english translation) Come back to me, follow the memory To the origin of gentleness and dreams Drawn by the stars once more, in order to be born Soul's Refrain Your naked body, enfolded by blue shadows Is quietly trembling in time As though seeking the whereabouts of life Your fingertips acknowledge me Of the fate I was embracing You bloom in season, like a fleeting flower You keep the scent of hope in your breast And quickly become blurred With a clear form Come back to me To the land where you dwelt before you were born Come back to these hands In order for us to meet Any number of miracles will happen Soul's Refrain When your eyelids are closed, as though praying The world simply vanishes into the heart of the darkness But even so, the rhythm is still moving Seeking bounded eternity Come back to me, follow the memory To the origin of gentleness and dreams Come back, so we can love together Repeat with body and heart Soul's Refrain Come back to me To the land where you dwelt before you were born Come back to these hands In order for us to meet Any number of miracles will happen Soul's Refrain.
