Standing before the waves,
I think of you and me.
I think of the great sea
And I wonder where the waves come from.

The waves must come from the wind.
And I wonder where the wind comes from,
And I wonder
When will we love each other again?

The waves deep in the sea
And the waves on the sea’s surface
Long for the shore of the sea.
Day and night the waves cannot sleep
As I cannot sleep, even in dreams,
Because of my longing for you.

When I go to the North,
Or to the South,
When I go any where, I think of you,
My only direction.

Out in that great sea

Thousands of waves are pushing,
Which one never reaches the shore
Even miles and miles from home?

Life is so long;
Years and months go by.
Like the sea, life is endless.
Clouds fly to the distant horizon.

How can I become
Like the hundreds of thousands of small waves
In the great sea of love
And lap forever against your shore?
