English Lyrics:
The rain will return to the cloud
The clouds bring down the rain
I will climb
Where over fields and pastures green
The painted ships float high in the air
Like a bird I fly
I’m holding on to the wind
Like a bird I fly
I’m holding on by my wings
Come tomorrow
The rain will clear
May it be tomorrow
The day is coming
I fly, I swim all over the lands
I’m holding on to the wind
Over desert sands,
over gulf and bay Like a bird
I fly Like a bird
I sing
Come tomorrow
The rain will clear
May it be tomorrow
