The light pink cosmos sway
In the nonchalant sunshine of this autumn day
Presently, Mother, fragile with tears
Gives a single cough in the garden
Opening a photo album on the veranda
Of my childhood memories
She repeats the same stories many times
Speaking to herself in a tiny voice

On this quiet Indian summer’s day
Her kindness comes in a flood
She has worked hard for my wedding tomorrow
And changed each moment with funny stories
As she laughed and told me not to worry

Thinking back through all my memories
She has never left me all alone
At this late hour, I bite my lip
Knowing my selfishness
Helping out with packing in anticipation of tomorrow
Just as she was enjoying herself
Suddenly Mother shed tears and said “Be happy”
Repeating it again and again

Reflecting on words on gratitude
I will try to live on my own
But on this quiet Indian summer’s day
Just for a while longer
Let me remain as your child

I never cry
Riding in a fast car
Doing sudden spins
Around darkened street corners, but I wasn’t afraid
My red scarf fluttered
As I watched with a feeling of wonder
But crying felt wrong to me

I never cry
In the middle of a cold night
I passed by various people
Receiving and returning flying kisses
And as I changed my friends
The only thing multiplying are my memories
But crying felt wrong to me

Tears are not for decoration HA HAN
Things like “I love you” are not to be said HO HO
Tears are not pearls HA HAN
But it’ll be nice if they are beautiful
Tears are just too sorrowful HO HO HO…

I never cry
Never had a true love
In front of others or alone
I’ve always hidden the tears at the backs of my eyes
Someday, when I meet my love
When my world changes
I feel that I may just cry
I feel that I will definitely cry

Tears are not for decoration HA HAN
Things like “I love you” are not to be said HO HO
Tears are not pearls HA HAN
But it’ll be nice if they are beautiful
Tears are just too sorrowful

Tears are not for decoration HA HAN
But it’ll be nice if they are sparkly HO HO
Tears are not diamonds HA HAN
But it’ll be nice to be lonely
Tears are just too sorrowful

La la la…
