You do something to me, you do something to me,
you are introducing me to myself.
You do something to me, you do something to me,
you are introducing me to myself.
When I speak to you, inside my heart
a flash of lightning appears.
When I look in the mirror,
my eyes show only you.
Girl, is this a dream or reality?
I am asking you.
My love, this moment feels so sweet in my heart.
Oh my, this fire feels intoxicating!
Because of you, this entire world
looks brand new to me...
Oh... Oh... Oh...
Girl, my watch
refuses to listen to me.
From the second it saw you,
it stopped and would not run.
Until now, toward anyone,
my heart had never swayed.
What kind of magic did you work?
I am not myself anymore.
What is this? What is this?
I cannot find my shadow.
It followed behind you,
and it still hasn't returned.
When I asked where it went,
it pointed right at your footsteps.
My love, this moment feels so sweet in my heart.
Oh my, this fire feels intoxicating!
Because of you, this entire world
looks brand new to me...
For hearts in love to speak,
no words are needed at all.
To express the desire in the heart,
there is no language like silence.
Until today, my life
I have never lived like this.
This is a brand new feeling,
nothing else comes to mind.
Until yesterday, in the sky,
there was no change at all.
Today, right at my doorstep,
I have discovered a rainbow.
In just a single day,
I have lived an entire lifetime...
My love, this moment feels so sweet in my heart.
Oh my, this fire feels intoxicating!
Because of you, this entire world
looks brand new to me...
You do something to me, you do something to me,
you are introducing me to myself. (x2)
