Don't... deceive each other

Don't say "love" when we're close

Don't deceive each other

For then where can we put trust in love.

Hold onto... our souls

Don't let dreams... entrance our hearts

Even when seeing lovers arm in arm

It may not be a destined love... to dream about. 

Don't... deceive each other

To avoid the sorrow in reminiscing about past moonlit nights.

Don't deceive each other

To avoid  the burden of  regrets in our hearts

If one already knows that love means:

One person walking away, the other still holding on...

So much regret for all the loving words

Given to the one... we love

Chorus:

But... love, who knows

Is like clouds carried by the wind

So... sometimes dreams

Make us forget the heart’s sorrows.

The days love comes – so full of passion.

The day love leaves ... so full of indifference.

Because... we loved, we have to bear... 

The person who forgets love will forget.

The person in love will still be in love. 

Don't deceive each other

Don't try to forget... the many past days

Don't deceive each other

And bury past loving verses. 

There’s not many moments of love.

Still many dreams remain... the heart still forlorn.

There will still be in the soul 

Some desire of “Love”.
