***********************************************************************
Humming sounds expressing mood
Oh, today the weather is very deceitful, very deceitful, today the weather
An approaching storm is coming, a storm is coming, today the weather
Oh, today the weather is very deceitful, very deceitful, today the weather.
What has happened? Nothing has happened
What is the matter? I don’t know anything
If I have made a mistake, there is no fault of mine in it
You are beautiful, the season is youthful, today the weather
Oh, today the weather is very deceitful, very deceitful, today the weather.
The dark clouds are fearful, the cool breeze is filled with sighs
Everyone is filled with doubts, every bud is suspicious of me
Even the hearts of the flowers are suspicious, today the weather
Oh, today the weather is very deceitful, very deceitful, today the weather.
Oh my friend, oh beautiful one, I have entrusted my heart to you
Now it is up to you, whether you let me live or kill me
Now my life is in your hands, today the weather
Oh, today the weather is very deceitful, very deceitful, today the weather
An approaching storm is coming, a storm is coming, today the weather
Oh, today the weather is very deceitful, very deceitful, today the weather
Humming sounds, today the weather, ohoho, today the weather, today the weather
The song ends with playful humming, bringing it full circle.
