Stand beside the river, watch how the river flows;
It's impossible to catch it in a net or with (your) hand.
It's nameless,
only its banks have a name.
Forget your own name and become a river.
Go and stand by the grass, watch how the grass grows;
It doesn't know the word 'love'.
But the love of the grass is not less than your own love
Forget about words and become the grass.
And so he sings, but they don't need it.
And what they do need no one knows
But he's a window in which the world is beautiful,
And who's the world here, and who's the window?
So go and stand beside the river, watch how the river flows;
It's impossible to catch it in a net or with (your) hand.
It's nameless,
only its banks have a name.
Accept your own name and become a river.
