For Fruits Basket
I was so happy
You were smiling
Melting everything with that smile
Spring is far away again
Inside the cold ground
I was waiting for the buds to sprout
Even if today is painful
Even if yesterday's wounds remain
I believe that the heart can move on
We can't be reborn
But we can change
Let's stay together always
Just smile and laugh
Touch my eyes with those fingers
Endlessly gentle
I want to be kind
Beyond the distant mountains
Let's go beyond the cries
Even if today is painful
It will become a warm memory someday
If you can throw away everything in your heart
You'll understand the meaning of living here
You'll know the joy of being born
Let's stay together always
