Translation
Bilingual
Every grain of sand that's lost upon the shore
Will eventually roll home
Every leaf on every tree that falls to autumn
Leaves a greenish stem to grow
Becoming the leaves that adorn every tree in spring
ย
Every wave that breaks the surface of the deep
To know a moment in the sun
Just as suddenly returns to twilight's sleep
Every one lives only seconds and it's done
It's only the way that the ultimate mystery is spun
Every breath you take you borrow from air
Giving back some part of you
Everything that lives has a birth, right from the stars
A current passes through the person who you are
And though the distance is far, you return to your Mother's sky
As a star
ย
Every wave that breaks surface of the deep
To know a moment in the sun
Just as suddenly returns, to twilight's sleep
Every one lives only seconds, and it's done
It's only the way that the ultimate mystery is spun
Every breath you take you borrow from air
Giving back a part of you
Everything that lives has a birth right, from the stars
A current passes through the person who you are
And though the distance is far, you return to your Mother's sky
As a star
