1. I beg you, for awhile this time,
My sharp pain, would you go away,
Would you fly as a grey cloud far
To reach my native land for certain,
From this place to native land of mine...

2.Oh, my shore, please appear to me
As an edge, as a thin line though...
Oh, my shore, so tender been,
How I do wish to swim to you now,
From this place to swim to you some time...

3.And there's the mushroom rain, somewhere it is rain,
And cherry-trees bow to earth
In the garden small on the river bank
They grow there for long...
And somewhere far, in my memory
I feel warmth as being a child,
Though snow has covered my mind with a thick and white layer...

4. You, the storm, would you give me a drink,
Not to death, but to drunken state...
And again, as if it's the last blink,
I look somewhere into heaven,
As if I'm seeking answer...

5. I beg you, for awhile this time,
My sharp pain, would you go away,
Would you fly as a grey cloud far
To reach my native land for certain,
From this place to native land of mine...
