O bluish heaven!
where I put my love
when you waves
my fragile fate
O yellowish horizon!
where I put my legs
when you smashes
my anguished dream
O whiter water!
sail me away
to humble palm
on vivid island
O softer wind!
fly me away
to calm cloud
on secret stream
O funny penguin!
go to your nest
I really need
your advice
O flashy dolphin!
go to your palace
I really follow
your vow
some pearls
wait for beginners
in turbulent time
I never let you die
some diamonds
need to be explored
on cracking deck
I never leave you
