[Verse 1 — Her]
Late afternoon, the market smelled of rain and bread,
I wore a yellow coat, hands full of borrowed books and thread.
You stood beneath the awning, quiet as a promise kept,
You smiled, tucked a stray curl back, and the crowded world felt swept.
You said my name — soft as a secret, like dusk arriving slow,
You said, "Au na sega ni kawaitaka" (I will not be shaken), and time learned to slow.
[Pre-Chorus — Both]
My words are rivers; yours are still and deep,
Different currents, same shore where we meet.
A trembling hand, a coffee ring, a laugh that stays the same,
One small phrase that stole the city’s flame.
[Chorus — Both]
You said my name and time went quiet,
The hum of everything fell out of sight.
We move on — together, steady and bright,
Sega dua na ka rawa ni basuka (nothing can break what we’ve made),
Nodaru veidomoni — our hands hold tight.
[Verse 2 — Him]
I watch you talk like fireflies, quick and bright and loud,
You watch my quiet like moonlight folding into cloud.
They say we’re different — you sparkle, I stand still and true,
But when you stumble, I steady steps and listen close to you.
You joke and paint the evening with the color of your laugh,
I say a few small words, and they become our map.
[Pre-Chorus — Both]
Time tries to rush us, rogo vosa in the street,
But I say, "Au na sega ni kawaitaka" — we won’t retreat.
We build a path from ordinary things we share,
A whispered vow, a tender braid of air.
[Chorus — Both]
You said my name and time went quiet,
The hum of everything fell out of sight.
We move on — together, steady and bright,
Sega dua na ka rawa ni basuka (nothing can break what we’ve made),
Nodaru veidomoni — our hands hold tight.
[Bridge — Duet (alternating lines)]
Her: I spill a thousand questions; you answer with a look.
Him: I keep a steady heartbeat; you write the book.
Her: You fold my restless stories into patient light.
Him: You teach my silence how to laugh, how to ignite.
Both: Different notes that make the chorus of our days,
Different ways to love, the same horizon stays.
[Final Chorus — Both]
You said my name and time went quiet,
The hum of everything fell out of sight.
We move on — together, steady and bright,
Sega dua na ka rawa ni basuka (nothing can break what we’ve made),
Nodaru veidomoni — our hands hold tight.
[Outro — Her softly, him answering]
The market emptied, lamps blinked on the lane,
You said my name again — and time learned how to stay.
(Translations: "Au na sega ni kawaitaka" — I will not be shaken; "Sega dua na ka rawa ni basuka" — Nothing can break what we have; "Nodaru veidomoni" — Our love.)
