In the ocean, under a blue moon,

A mermaid with silver hair

Is looking up to the sky,


Rocked by the waves.


She decorate her cheek

With tears of pearl.

She cries herself to sleep

In a boat of seashells.


In my dreams, those wet eyes

Shine so brightly.

When we swim in the midsummer sea,

They dazzle us.


There's a deep longing within me.

A beating in my chest,

I don't suppose it will reach you.


Shooting stars rain down.

Darting through the mermaids’ skies.

My wish is always the same.

My wish is of you.


A sigh like the waves

Escapes my lips.

There's so much sorrow

In a sailor's heart.


A sillhouette under the blue moon.

Is splashing in the ocean.

The mermaid is jumping

Chasing after summer.


My sad voice

Won't reach anyone anymore

From the Autumn sea.


I'm sorry.

I’m sorry mermaid, it’s already October.

The wind's become cold.

Summer’s gone on a journey

To a faraway land.


You’ll never make it, it’s already October.

The sea's become cold.

Sorry mermaid, it’s already October.

The wind's become cold.
