...
I have merged into your eyes,
I have lost myself in you,
I have flown high into the sky!
Clinging closely to my eyes,
you are my vision of love!
Isn't it you? Oh ho ooh...
My search, oh ho ooh...
Your desire... your glance...
Your beauty... your closeness...
Watching your sweet affection,
something came over me...
...
Except for you, inside my heart
nothing else comes to mind;
all these days I waited
without seeing you.
Hopping and skipping around,
I saw you like a playful child.
With your hook-like eyes, oh no,
I got caught today!
Because a colorful bright moon
came and went,
the sleep in my eyes
has drifted far away.
Like a sculpture made of water,
I saw you,
and just standing far away,
I grew thirsty for you.
Your desire... your glance...
Your beauty... your closeness...
Watching your sweet affection,
something came over me...
...
Dressed in a school uniform,
I saw you,
and lessons of love through your eyes
I learned.
Playing hopscotch on one foot,
you are a butterfly!
What keeps me alive forever
is your breath!
Without needing a key to wind it,
you are a dancing doll.
Even if you stand at a distance,
you have the pure innocence of my mother.
Up on the open terrace,
the shining moon,
the moment it sees you,
wouldn't it run away from the sky?
At my window,
if your breeze touches me,
even fire would taste sweet,
all because of you, my flower!
...
I have merged into your eyes,
I have lost myself in you,
I have flown high into the sky!
Clinging closely to my eyes,
you are my vision of love!
Isn't it you? Oh ho ooh...
My search, oh ho ooh...
Your desire... your glance...
Your beauty... your closeness...
Watching your sweet affection,
something came over me...
