[Verse 1]
Water is essential for life, and photosynthesis creates organic matter from sunlight and carbon dioxide. A long stretch of sunny days means running out of water. If even one element is missing, it won’t work.
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Carbon dioxide never runs out.
But at night, the light is gone.
[Chorus 1]
If all the conditions are met,
Everything goes smoothly,
But if something is missing,
Things don’t work out.
[Verse 2]
It might look easy at first glance, but sometimes things go wrong. Just because it worked well last year doesn’t mean it will this year-because weather conditions change. Typhoons don’t always come.
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I keep a daily record;
That way, I can figure things out.
[Chorus 2]
If all the conditions are met,
Everything goes smoothly,
But if something is missing,
Things don’t work out.
[Verse 3]
I planted corn. The okra is growing well. The cucumbers have gotten quite big, too. I’m harvesting sweet potatoes steadily. The shiso leaves are wonderfully aromatic; I eat them finely chopped.
[Pre-Chorus 3]
The adzuki beans are likely growing vigorously,
Though I rarely have the time to check on them.
[Chorus 3]
If all the conditions are met,
Everything goes smoothly,
But if something is missing,
Things don’t work out.
[Bridge]
I won’t make a fortune,
But I can keep small expenses down.
If that brings happiness,
Then I have no complaints.
[Final Chorus]
If all the conditions are met,
Everything goes smoothly,
But if something is missing,
Things don’t work out.
[Outro]
