An unexpected guest,
did you wonder why she came here?
The bright moon that arrives uninvited—
isn't that just like this woman's heart?
A woman's heart... a woman's heart...
An unexpected guest,
did you wonder why she came here?
The bright moon that arrives uninvited—
isn't that just like this woman's heart?
Let whatever is gone be gone,
let a new world blossom here from now on.
Let whatever is gone be gone,
let a new world blossom here from now on.
Let us enjoy the full moon,
let us learn our lessons in school.
Let us enjoy the full moon,
let us learn our lessons in the school of flowers.
An unexpected guest,
did you wonder why she came here?
The bright moon that arrives uninvited—
isn't that just like this woman's heart?
I expressed it through my thoughts,
I will place my heart in your care.
I expressed it through my thoughts,
I will place my heart in your care.
I don't know the way to say it,
yet I cannot keep from saying it.
I don't know the way to say it,
yet I cannot keep from saying it.
yet I cannot keep from saying it.
An unexpected guest,
did you wonder why she came here?
The bright moon that arrives uninvited—
isn't that just like this woman's heart?
I will stay by your side through the night,
I will let you sleep in my lap.
I will stay by your side through the night,
I will let you sleep in my lap.
One day, I will make you forget the world,
and tell you the end of that sleep later.
One day, I will make you forget the world,
and tell you the end of that sleep later.
and tell you the end of that sleep later.
An unexpected guest,

The bright moon that arrives uninvited—
isn't that just like this woman's heart?
A woman's heart, a woman's heart...
