知足  Contentment

Words and Lyrics by Ashin

 
How do you possess a rainbow
How do you embrace a summer wind
The stars in the sky laugh at the people on the ground
I can never understand why I can’t feel it is enough

If I fall in love with your smile, how can I keep it, how can I possess it
If you’re happy and it’s not because of me, will we give up, actually that is possession

When a wind blows by, a kite flies to the heavens
I pray for you, and wish happiness, and am moved
At last your shadow disappears in a sea of people, 
Then I realize, laughing through tears, the greatest hurt

That day you and I, that hill, that kind of singing, that year’s song
That kind of memory, just enough, enough that every day I taste loneliness

When a wind blows by, a kite flies to the heavens
I pray for you, and wish happiness, and am moved
At last your shadow disappears in a sea of people, 
Then I realize, laughing through tears, the greatest hurt

If I fall in love with your smile, how can I keep it, how can I possess it
If you’re happy and it’s not because of me, will we give up, actually that is possession

The happiness of contentment calls me to endure my broken heart
The happiness of contentment calls me to endure my broken heart
