Hey girl, your gaze is my love's weapon
Hey girl, because of you I have a thousand thoughts
Hey girl, you are the only reason I live
Hey girl, I must unite with you today
I lived thinking I had no one of my own
Oho... right before my eyes...
Oho, you came into my life...
Like a fresh spring in the monsoon rain, you welled up inside me
Oho... right before my eyes...
Oho, you came into my life...
Oh... confessing my love,
I gave you my heart, my girl
You stitched your soul into mine
Never in my entire life
Will I ever forget this moment, my girl
I will walk forward holding your hand
Aha... all alone
I had been living until now
You came as my companion in life
Now my whole life has turned into springtime
In this moonlit night,
Aha... my true poem,
My golden waterfall,
You rose in my heart like a flame of love
I need another lifetime too,
Just to live with you
You came before me,
And I stood frozen like a statue
Your gaze steals me away in a heartbeat
When you confessed your love,
I forgot myself completely, my love
My heart yearned to unite with you
In this burning cold chill, my tender heart melts
As sweet music plays, pure joy fills me
As gentle feelings melt, new desires are stirred
Drenching in this sweet fire...
Aha... shall I write poems across your cheeks?
Shall I speak of love in the language of silence?
As our eyes meet, shockwaves of lightning surge through me
Hey girl, your gaze is my love's weapon
Hey girl, because of you I have a thousand thoughts
Hey girl, you are the only reason I live
Hey girl, I must unite with you today
I lived thinking I had no one of my own
Oho... right before my eyes...
Oho, you came into my life...
Like a fresh spring in the monsoon rain, you welled up inside me
Oho... right before my eyes...
Oho, you came into my life...
