Water in eternal movement 
Circling day after day 
Above the surface in wind's face 
Is the end cruelly grimaced 
On the water, water lily's leaf 
Is rolling on the stream 
Beside the bluff there she dances 
Water flea in her wedding 
Master wind blows waves begin to rise 

Her fiance tomorrow child 
Just taken his first breath 
Take his step and with his bride 
They fall into ecstasy 
Wind blows hard they do not see 
Water lily's leaf is turning 
With this move it falls down 
Those lovers almost together 
Lose their lifes for the others to live 
Today it is calm 
Tomorrow it storms 
But still water 
For ever flows
