Sample of the translated lyrics:

You are a flower of love, I am a flower of romanceSeizing time, shakingA tale of the moon, a tale of the stars, I continued to prayYou are a trap of love, I am a trap of romance; seizing everything, we'll sleepA tale of the wind, a tale of a dream, an illusion that won't fade^[1]
