It dances in love and seeks joy,
this young heart surging like waves,
it longs for a companion.
In a life growing sweet, it sings a poem.

you are an epic poem mingling with life!
Loneliness trembles and fades away.
It dances in love and seeks joy,
this young heart surging like waves,
it longs for a companion.
In a life growing sweet, it sings a poem.
A joyful gentle breeze comes running,
to tell an unspoken story.

Male: Ah ah
While the world sleeps, along the path of love,
it journeys with the moon for company.
Loneliness trembles and fades away.
It dances in love and seeks joy,
this young heart surging like waves,
it longs for a companion.
In a life growing sweet, it sings a poem.
In the bloom of youth, inside a blossoming heart,
sweet joys take shape in the soul's dream.
Female: Hearts speak to each other, uniting in affection,
Both: Happiness has become our very own!
Loneliness trembles and fades away.
