Oh my desires, do not wander restlessly,

As the ring of a phone echoes in my heart, hey,

As a cool breeze gently blows across my heart,

I need you by my side as my companion.

There is no deceit in my heart,

There is no one on the rooftop,

On the excuse of going for a walk,

It is no crime if we share a kiss.

Within you...

I completely lost myself.

Like a sudden gentle rush,

What a joy it is to get drenched in the drizzling rain!

Fa la la la

I'm falling

Male: I'm falling

In love with you, ooh ooh

In love with you, ooh ooh

I'm falling...

I'm falling

I'm falling

I'm falling

In love with you... ooh ooh...

In love with you... ooh ooh...

Sometimes, inside my eyes, oh my,

A tiny little beetle flutters around,

Making everything flutter with a restless excitement,

When you lean against my shoulder, oh my,

The whole world floats in a dream,

And every dewdrop feels so sweet.

There is no deceit in my heart,

There is no one on the rooftop,

On the excuse of going for a walk,

It is no crime if we share a kiss.

I'm falling

Male: I'm falling

In love with you... ooh ooh...

In love with you... ooh ooh...

Falling, falling

I'm falling, falling

Male: Falling, falling

I'm falling, falling

Oh my desires, do not wander restlessly,

As the ring of a phone echoes in my heart,

As a cool breeze gently blows across my heart,

I need you by my side as my companion, hey!
