On the bank of the river
The dawning of this day
In this rainy season
Take, O my heart, take
All into your mind.
The green and the blue
Glowing in the golden sun
Spread so much honey
They send a message so deep
Take, O my heart, take
All into your mind.
In this world
While going on your way
Collect all the flowers that blossom
On either side of your way
And tie them up in your soul in a bouquet
As great blessings
Take, O my heart, take
All of these into your mind.
