Happiness
Is your life happiness
Befitting as it is
Never to be forgotten
Desirable and yearned for
- I watch happy people here
It is a wonder they greet when meeting them
And I dance with them
Though I can't dance at all

Is happiness your life
Or is life your happiness
I do not know yet
- I didn’t meet you again

Silence with something in its teeth
I will bring it flowers
And subdue it with fragrance
Then it will pass away
- And I will forget you
Keeping only some of your colors
And I will go on
Chasing the wild chars

Is happiness your life
Or is life your happiness
I do not know yet
- I didn't meet you again
Brief expected encounters
Shouldn't be placed on the cliff
But desired and within reach
If we should meet again
We disembark out there at sea - because we think it so
We sink nowhere at sea - as we think so
Let us come up to the surface - because we think so
We come up from the sea - because we think so

When the hearing ends
We’ll part in different directions
With no exact resolutions
But saying differently

Is happiness your life
Or is life your happiness
I do not know yet
- I didn't meet you again
Brief expected encounters
Shouldn't be placed on the cliff
But desired and within reach
If we should meet again
