(Lyrics)
Birch forests, when the wind blows
I feel the wind blowing in my mind, the fruit of my journey
I read you back to my heart
I read your old letters with nostalgia
The sky is so blue it makes my eyes sting
I follow a dream that will never come true
I follow the road that leads me far and wide
I turn my head to miss the city
Beyond the mountains, the shadows are pale
the moon of midday is sad
Tears are hot and wet on my cheeks
My thoughts are endless, the fruit of my journey
If I beat about in solitude
I remember even the wind that blows through the pampas grass on the hill
I remember even the wind
(I used a translation app.
I'm sorry if there are parts of the lyrics that I
don't understand.)
