English Translation
I've just now begun to search, over the splashing waves For the everlasting world With this overflowing passion in my chest, I will go anywhere Seeking the light yet unseen

When the summer sun shakes my heart's sail That's the signal to open the door to a new world Swaying on the waves, supassing my despair Aiming for the other side of the horizon

I've just now begun to search, over the splashing waves, For the everlasting world With this overflowing passion in my chest, I will go anywhere, Seeking the light yet unseen

A current of repetitious days and mundane clouds I see reflected in you a future you can't possibly know Even if I avoid pain by not changing That leaves me without dreams or even hope -- so let's go!

Why am I searching? What is it I want? The answer is surely somewhere ahead My heart will go on to the moving world Hiding my yet unseen strength

Why am I searching? What is it I want? Where is the yet unseen treasure? With this overflowing passion in my chest, how far can I go? I don't know, but

I've just now begun to search, over the splashing waves, For the everlasting world With this overflowing passion in my chest, I will go anywhere, Seeking the light yet unseen

To the other side
