| Where are you
Full moon of the night
Reveal your
Beauty
The seas are calm
The cliffs are lonely
But you and I
Are making love
How fragrant
Is the hinano blossom
That captivates you
**(You taught me)
My love
Tell of your name
Full moon of the night
There beauty sits high
Above the heavenly
mountains
