一呼...一吸 [Yī hū...Yī xī] [English translation]

Clouds don’t need to receive attention.

Rocks don’t inquire about their significance,

They wouldn’t even care if they fell and shattered.

Black panthers are never aware of their beauty.

Trees don’t feel ashamed even if they fall down.

We are used to always considering ourselves to be right.

Kindness,love,words that are pleasant to hear,honesty that sounds familiar.

I’ll do it,I want it,I decide. But where am I?

Listen respectfully to life’s origins, the inner voice.

Exhale, inhale.

Because of that moment,I’ll begin at once.

Exhale, inhale.

The ocean doesn’t have priorities,

It’s ruthless, but at the same time benevolent.

Humans are merely one of the tens of thousands of species.

Ants do not require encouragement,

As long as they’re living,they will continue to live.

Even if There’s no result,they will begin nevertheless.

Numbers, honour,I can’t afford to pay the interest that comes with fear.

I’m fearful, I’m hurting, I’m melancholic. Where will I be?

Life is right here, not elsewhere.

Exhale, inhale,

Because only when you let go will you feel complete.

Exhale, inhale.

Listen to the melody of the wind that blew during our childhood,

And exhale, inhale.

Life has its ups and downs; the cycle repeats itself.

Exhale, inhale.
