This girl is dazzling me,
her two eyes keep pulling me in.
I never even imagined
an angel like you.
My breath is slipping away, girl,
it would be so wonderful if you came along.
I can't bear it, I can't take it,
love strikes like a whirlwind!
This girl is dazzling me,
her two eyes keep pulling me in.
Mmm... mmm...
Did I ever think I would meet you along the way?
Now I begin my journey.
I used to wander like an untamed horse,
but in a single second, I was tamed.
A potted flower turning into a whole garden—
such a wonder has blossomed here.
Oh wow...
As your fragrance drifts around me,
the whole world
feels like it has fallen right into my hands...
This girl is dazzling me,
her two eyes keep pulling me in...
Mmm... mmm
You are a gift sent by God,
and I want to hide you away and keep you safe.
You are a moon untouched by any storm,
and I cherish every bit of you.
A good deed done long ago
has arrived here as this woman.
My heart,
won't it turn into a palace?
And inside it,
there is no rent for you to live!
This girl is dazzling me,
her two eyes keep pulling me in.
I never even imagined
an angel like you.
My breath is slipping away, girl,
it would be so wonderful if you came along.
I can't bear it, I can't take it,
love strikes like a whirlwind!
This girl is dazzling me,
her two eyes keep pulling me in.
