The breeze and I are saying with a sigh
Through the wind, I express my pain and sorrow
That you no longer care
You abandoned me and stopped loving me
The breeze and I are whispering goodbye
The wind and I are bidding farewell
To dreams we used to share
To the aspirations we had together
Ours was a love song that seemed constant as the moon
Our love was strong and unchanging
Ending in a strange mournful tune
But now it has come to an unexpected and sad conclusion
And all about me, they know you have departed without me
Everyone knows that you left me alone
And we wonder why, the breeze and I
The wind and I question why this has happened
The breeze and I
The wind and I
