Koi - Nishikigoi lyrics

Adored by many cultures

Live jewels, life aquatic

Thriving gregariously below

Ponds still and transparent

Symbolic traits assigned

Denizens of abundance

Good luck and fortune too

Swimming e'er in longevity

Courageous and cooperative

With a strength in purpose

And perseverance in adversity

Worldly aspirations, advancing

So too they often pair together

Swimming side by side like one

In the duality of life, or yin yang

With memory, loyalty, personality

Their colours variant, value so

Dynamic gems of form and grace

Nature's trove seen beneath the ice

Captivating, placid, and serene

They float ever peaceful, gliding

As if through space, untethered

Across dimensions, indefinable

Drifting on weightless wings
