Big is the path of the river You flowed with it every night On the other side we stand with our broken heart Will send you a gift from the bottom of our heart. Look how cold is the river We settled it between us Only the echo of our voice calls and sings to you Your figure went away with the river The passing days told me how you went with yesterday Only the two of us stayed here Tomorrow you will come back to the bank of the river We will be together on the two sides
