Aha, my dear girl! Aha, my dear girl!
Aha, my dear girl! Aha, my dear girl!
With just a single glance kissing me,
It left a lasting taste deep inside my soul!
I have seen so many girls,
I have seen so many pairs of eyes,
But struck by your piercing eyes,
I died for a little while!
Oh my goodness, oh dear!
An arrow has struck me!
Like a kite flying high, my heart
Has reached the open sky!
Like a little calf that circles around
Its mother cow,
All on its own, my heart
Keeps circling around you!
Where are you from? What is your name?
Please, won't you tell me something?
Aha, my dear girl! Aha, my dear girl!
With just a single glance kissing me,
It left a lasting taste deep inside my soul!
I have seen so many girls,
I have seen so many pairs of eyes,
But struck by your piercing eyes,
I died for a little while!
Leaping and rushing to touch the shore
Like a river's wave,
Keeping rhythm and creating a veil
In its white foam,
As tree leaves sway in the wind to listen,
A cuckoo sings in her sweet voice!
Is she a goddess of love,
A flower spreading sweet fragrance?
Captivating the spirit of youth,
She is an eight-colored rainbow!
Even after the pouring rain stops,
She is the rich wetness of the soil!
Under the open sky, she is a sculpture
That makes you want to embrace her,
Breaking past every bit of self-control,
She is a true work of art, my friend!
Aha, my dear girl! Aha, my dear girl!
On these rough lips, hard like a rock,
With the sweetness of her loving lips,
The moment honey was tasted like a bee,
I no longer know or understand who I am!
Her divine breath sowed the sweet ache of desire!
Making me forget everything else,
What did you do to make me melt in this fire?
Thinking of you, girl, my love only overflows!
Until the day I leave this earthly ground,
Searching only for you each and every day,
This life belongs to you, my girl!
Aha, my dear girl! Aha, my dear girl!
With just a single glance kissing me,
It left a lasting taste deep inside my soul!
I have seen so many girls,
I have seen so many pairs of eyes,
But struck by your piercing eyes,
I died for a little while!
Oh my goodness, oh dear!
An arrow has struck me!
Like a kite flying high, my heart
Has reached the open sky!
Like a little calf that circles around
Its mother cow,
All on its own, my heart
Keeps circling around you!
Where are you from? What is your name?
Please, won't you tell me something?
