Oh my, goodness me, like a sweet flower bud,
The drizzle showers water so it can dance with joy!
Oh my, goodness me, like a sweet flower bud,
The drizzle showers water so it can dance with joy!
Is it melting... is it fluttering with shyness...
A childlike heart,
With mischievous charm and sweetness,
Just like a fresh bud on a vine,
While getting soaked in the chilly rain!
Tell me, oh tell me in your shyness,
All kinds of thoughts have filled the mind!
Tell me, oh tell me in your shyness... hey hey,
All kinds of thoughts have filled the mind!
The sky and the earth
Join hands only through the rain!
The plants and the blossoms
Look so beautiful when they are drenched!
As the rain and the mist
Gently pinch without hurting,
As beauty and longing
Sway and dance without moving,
Why is my heart leaping with joy?
Why is my body trembling like this?
The paradise this young girl's eyes saw
Is right here on this earth!
Oh my, goodness me, like a sweet flower bud,
The drizzle showers water so it can dance with joy!
Oh my, goodness me, like a sweet flower bud,
The drizzle showers water so it can dance with joy!
Is it melting... is it fluttering with shyness...
A childlike heart,
With mischievous charm and sweetness,
Just like a fresh bud on a vine,
While getting soaked in the chilly rain!
Tell me, oh tell me in your shyness,
All kinds of thoughts have filled the mind!
Tell me, oh tell me in your shyness,
All kinds of thoughts have filled the mind!
Dreaming of who knows what,
Is this young girl's heart brimming over?
As tiny raindrops
Scatter and splash, is a sweet longing blooming?
As the god of the sky
Teases and flirts playfully,
As the god of the wind
Comes rushing in to kiss,
With her deep dark hair,
When the cool purple breeze embraces it,
Will this young girl's leaping heart
Recite a hundred poems? Oh... oh...
Oh my, goodness me, like a sweet flower bud,
The drizzle showers water so it can dance with joy!
Oh my, goodness me, like a sweet flower bud,
The drizzle showers water so it can dance with joy!
Is it melting... is it fluttering with shyness...
A childlike heart,
With mischievous charm and sweetness,
Just like a fresh bud on a vine,
While getting soaked in the chilly rain!
Tell me, oh tell me in your shyness,
All kinds of thoughts have filled the mind!
Tell me, oh tell me in your shyness... hey hey,
All kinds of thoughts have filled the mind!
