I love you, love you, love you
I love you, love you, love you
I love you, love you, love you
I love you, love you, love you
It flutters so often,
it beats wildly,
this young girl's heart!
It floats in dreams,
it smiles with eyes closed,
this youthful age of mine!
If I see you all alone, that's it,
will words even come out right?
Coming closer and closer,
holding me tight in your arms,
would it hurt you to say "I love you",
my darling?
Would it hurt you to say "I love you",
my darling?
It flutters so often,
it beats wildly,
this young girl's heart!
It floats in dreams,
it smiles with eyes closed,
this youthful age of mine!
I put a bridle on my heart
and pulled tight to keep it in control.
I put a bridle on my heart
and pulled tight to keep it in control.
Yet look, it runs wild and refuses to obey!
While the nights pass without ever dawning,
I wander like a fragile vine, lost in loneliness.
While the nights pass without ever dawning,
I wander like a fragile vine, lost in loneliness.
Who will come and pluck this fragrant flower?
Tell me when we will exchange garlands and celebrate in the evening!
I love you, love you, love you
I love you, love you, love you
I love you, love you, love you
I love you, love you, love you
It flutters so often,
it beats wildly,
this young girl's heart!
It floats in dreams,
it smiles with eyes closed,
this youthful age of mine!
If I see you all alone, that's it,
will words even come out right?
Coming closer and closer,
holding me tight in your arms,
would it hurt you to say "I love you",
my darling?
Would it hurt you to say "I love you",
my darling?
Thanthana thanna thannaanaa
Thanna thaanaa thanna thaanaa
Thanthana thanna thannaanaa
Thanna thaanaa thanna thaanaa
Thanthana thanna thannaanaa
Thanna thaanaa thanna thaanaa
The way young men carry on nowadays,
with all kinds of youthful madness!
The way young men carry on nowadays,
with all kinds of youthful madness!
Look how they wander wherever their whims take them!
Shoot your gaze at me like an arrow,
speak of love through your eyes!
Shoot your gaze at me like an arrow,
speak of love through your eyes!
That I was born only for you...
why did you forget that?
Look at this longing girl pouring her heart out,
won't you listen to her?
I love you, love you, love you
I love you, love you, love you
I love you, love you, love you
I love you, love you, love you
It flutters so often,
it beats wildly,
this young girl's heart!
It floats in dreams,
it smiles with eyes closed,
this youthful age of mine!
If I see you all alone, that's it,
will words even come out right?
Coming closer and closer,
holding me tight in your arms,
would it hurt you to say "I love you",
my darling?
Would it hurt you to say "I love you",

It flutters so often,
it beats wildly,
this young girl's heart!
It floats in dreams,
it smiles with eyes closed,
this youthful age of mine!
