A tender song of enduring love, longing, and remembrance. The memory of a loved one becomes a source of strength against loneliness, carried within like the sound of the sea inside a seashell. Through images of perfume, dreams, flight, and the sea, the song expresses an intense desire to overcome distance and return to the intimacy of love. Wherever life may lead, that person remains inseparable from the heart—like breath itself.
You will once again take your place in my mind,
bringing back my peace of mind.
Like the seashell that carries
every sigh of the sea,
the memory of you gives me strength
to face the loneliness.
To feel your perfume on my skin again,
and in my dreams, to kiss you once more.
Wherever I go in the world,
I carry you in my heart.
I can’t forget you for even a second,
because you are my breath.
I wish I could be a seagull and take flight,
to settle in your nest as night falls.
I spend my days counting the hours
until I can soothe my passion once again.
