Oh girl, if you smile just once,
rain pours inside my heart.
Oh girl, if you smile just once,
rain pours inside my heart.
To the rhythm
of my beating heart,
why did you write a poem?
Threading it through your eyes, deep into my soul,
you speak it with just a glance.
To live with you,
to die with you,
can I rest my head on your lap?
Can I rest my head on your lap?
As your gaze kills me softly,
I gently leaned into you.
You are my king.
You are my king.
Oh, admiring the beauty
that scatters from your smile,
is that how flowers found their fragrance?
Even your drops of sweat,
like holy water,
wash away all sins when they fall on me.
In a world where the two of us live,
I will hold you close inside my soul.
Under the moon fading into the night,
we will live together, side by side.
Girl, every single day I live with you,
I fly like a feather.
In every moment I spend with you,
I am born again for the very first time.
As your gaze kills me softly,
I gently leaned into you.
You are my king.
You are my king.
To live with you,
to die with you,
can I rest my head on your lap?
Can I rest my head on your lap?
My love, if you look at me with fondness just once,
a sweet new spell comes over me.
My love, if you look at me with fondness just once,
a sweet new spell comes over me.
Was it to make me realize the meaning of my life
that you were given to me?
Though you are close enough to touch,
my soul gets lost in your eyes.
Love in the rain, resting on your lap—
hold me close in your soul every day, my love.
In the language spoken by our eyes,
even silence is no longer a mistake.
My love, every single day I live with you,
I fly like a feather.
In every moment I spend with you,
I am born again for the very first time.
Oh girl, if you smile just once,
rain pours inside my heart.
My love, if you look at me with fondness just once,
a sweet new spell comes over me.
Are you a borrowed soul,
or the warm sunlight of our bond?
You are the scent of fresh rain, girl.
Are you the language of poetry,
or the path of the poet?
You are the very breath of my life, girl.
To live with you,
to die with you,
can I rest my head on your lap?
Can I rest my head on your lap?
As your gaze kills me softly,
I gently leaned into you.
You are my king.
You are my king.
