Ole oh oh oh

Ole ole ole oh oh oh

Ole oh oh oh

Like the moon

walking upon the earth,

I saw you,

my flower...

Wave upon wave,

wave upon wave,

sweet waves of honey in my heart.

Net upon net,

net upon net,

you spread your web of love.

Every day upon the road,

the vehicle travelling along

keeps kissing the ground

wherever it goes.

Just like that vehicle and the road,

we should live together.

Come to me, my blossoming love!

Wave upon wave,

Female: Wave upon wave,

Male: Wave upon wave,

Female: Wave upon wave,

Male: Sweet waves of honey in my heart!

Ole oh oh oh

Ole ole ole oh oh oh

Ole oh oh oh

Haa... aah... aah...

Aaaah... aah... aah...

If you just look at me

from afar,

my heart begins to speak on its own.

As light as a body on the moon,

I drift and float all by myself.

With the River Thames

and its gentle breeze, let us talk.

All across London Bridge,

let us run around.

Picking up Shakespeare's poems,

let us sing them aloud.

Ole oh oh oh

Ole ole ole oh oh oh

Ole oh oh oh

Ole ole ole oh oh oh

When your lies look so charming on you,

even truth longs to be like them.

If you leave any kohl to spare in your eyes,

the dark rain clouds will ask for it.

From one continent to another,

like birds that migrate,

fastening wings to our feet,

let us fly away.

Let us add even more colours to the rainbow!

Wave upon wave,

Female: Wave upon wave,

Male: Wave upon wave,

Female: Wave upon wave,

Male: Sweet waves of honey in my heart!

Hey, net upon net,

Male: Wave upon wave,

Female: Net upon net,

Male: Wave upon wave,

Female: Haa... aaah...

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning

This romantic song captures the euphoric feeling of falling in love and the dreamy imagination that accompanies it. The protagonist compares the lover to a moon walking on earth and describes how love makes them feel completely weightless, as if floating in low gravity or flying across continents like a migratory bird.
