about

Calming sounds of flowing water and birds chirping in the background lead into a tranquil, meditative ukulele instrumental, which serves Zacquine to recite Matsuo Basho’s Haiku in traditional Japanese.

lyrics

Shizukesa ya, iwa ni shimi iru, semi no koe
(静けさや 岩に染み入る 蝉の声)

Meaning:

– So quiet, that the sound of cicadas seems to be increasing, but at the same time, I feel that those stones in the mountain are absorbing the sound of cicadas.

- Because it's so quiet, even the sound of this noisy bug seems to emphasize the silence, and you remain in it.
