Akila, Akila, a flower has bloomed on my plant!
As you touch it, honey spills over.
The flower's fragrance is everywhere, okay, okay!
Is it fire, or is it a cloud?
My every moment tastes so sweet.
As you arrive, it catches fire.
Even if you kill me now, it is okay, okay!
Your look, your glance, your words...
they never once attracted me before.
Even so, you boldly stepped forward,
and made this love embrace me
so pleasantly...
Akila, Akila, a flower has bloomed on my plant!
As you touch it, honey spills over.
The flower's fragrance is everywhere, okay, okay!
Is it fire, or is it a cloud?
My every moment tastes so sweet.
As you arrive, it catches fire.
Even if you kill me now, it is okay, okay!
...
When you shower
gentle drizzles of love,
without letting a single drop spill,
I scoop them up in my hands.
In so many vibrant colors,
my entire sky begins to change,
and I bounce along with the wind like a cloud.
In my eyes... (Female: Mm, ah, ah)
In my eyes, you paint a rainbow,
and it radiates a glow of blue, girl.
That love...
Once our fingers intertwined
and our eyes embraced,
did the fish willingly enter the net?
Akila, Akila, a flower has bloomed on my plant! (Female: Mm, mhm)
As you touch it, honey spills over.
The flower's fragrance is everywhere, okay, okay!
Is it fire, or is it a cloud?
My every moment tastes so sweet.
As you arrive, it catches fire.
Even if you kill me now, it is okay, okay!
{ Aa oh oh oh yeah oh
Aa oh oh oh yeah } (2)
...
... (Female: ...)
Like a flash of lightning,
you appear and vanish before my eyes.
How can I even describe
that electric shock?
As I tried to close myself off
like a quiet full stop,
you drew an entire world around it,
slowly and gently.
Like Armstrong stepping on the moon,
I will make a strong mark in your heart!
Did the parrot sway, or was it the branch?
Wings have sprouted even on my eyelids!
Akila, Akila, a flower has bloomed on my plant!
As you touch it, honey spills over.
The flower's fragrance is everywhere, (Female: Okay, okay!)
Is it fire, or is it a cloud?
My every moment tastes so sweet.
As you arrive, it catches fire.
Even if you kill me now, (Female: Okay, okay!)
