All these days, the sky
without falling down upon the earth
is held up like a pillar
only by love!
Across the ages,
for this world to bloom with flowers,
the beautiful reason
is only love!
All the five elements of nature
are slaves to love.
All seven days of the week
belong to love.
Even the nine planets
revolve around love.
If given a ladder to climb a tree,
it will scale a mountain and hoist a flag!
If given a tiny pin in hand,
it will dig an entire well!
A simple stone into a diamond—
a single glance of love can transform it.
Even if dropped in boiling water,
the fish of love will keep swimming.
Kal kal... kal kal
Kalang kalang... kal kal
Kal kal... kal kal
Kalang kalang... kal kal
Love gladly welcomes hardship.
To achieve victory,
love will endure anything.
It will break through closed doors,
and every slippery path
it will turn into steps to victory.
Without even looking up,
it can pull down a star.
Without needing anyone's help,
it will surely win.
Even like a ring of iron
forged in fire,
when two hearts unite in desire,
it will boldly break through!
All fear and hesitation
will take a holiday.
Pouring sweat right from the roots,
love will always triumph.
Rushing ahead with fiery passion,
it will smash every obstacle.
When seawater
is trapped,
it turns into salt.
But love that holds back its tears
will turn into a precious pearl...
Kal kal... kal kal
Kalang kalang... kal kal
Kal kal... kal kal
Kalang kalang... kal kal
Does love ask for permission before arriving?
When a bird flies into a garden,
can any fence ever stop it?
Love is like a wild plant;
even if given strict commands,
will flowers refuse to blossom?
Inside a cave where tigers dwell,
the courage for a parrot to live
is gifted to the heart
only by love.
The road going there
may be an empty path,
but the road returning
is a path of victory.
To reach the heart it loves,
this is that journey...
For birds crossing over the sea,
there are no trees to rest on along the way.
Yet, as they cross continents,
their wings never ache.
An ant's tiny feet climbing a mountain
will not break under the scorching heat.
When love fills the heart,
what human barrier can stand in its way?
Kal kal... kal kal
Kalang kalang... kal kal
Kal kal... kal kal
Kalang kalang... kal kal
