    1st Verse

    When will the thin ice
    on the river in front melt?


    The boat, loaded with cargo,
    has come that far through the dawn fog


    Embracing an armful of light pink flowers


    The hazy light across the water,
    the hazy light coming down
    over the riverside village

    When will the thin ice
    on the river in front melt?

    The boat, loaded with cargo,
    has come that far through the dawn fog

    2nd Verse

    Once again today,
    shall drift like a raft on the river

    Birdsong and breeze,
    fluttering as water flows

    Releasing my spring
    in the dark valley of my heart

    Radiant silent longing, Silent longing
    flows silently

    Once again today,
    shall drift like a raft on the river

    Birdsong and breeze, fluttering as water flows

    Fluttering as water flows
