I gave away my heart
and found a place in yours.
I gave away my heart
and found a place in yours.
All the tricks the breeze taught me,
shall I show them to you, my dear?
I gave away my heart
and found a place in yours.
I gave away my heart
and found a place in yours.
All the tricks the breeze taught me,
shall I show them to you, my dear?
All the tricks the breeze taught me,
shall I show them to you, my dear?
I gave away my heart...
As both your little eyes
playfully toss me around,
and love showers kisses on your glowing cheeks,
As both your little eyes playfully toss me around,
and love showers kisses on your glowing cheeks,
Inside a pair of hearts...
Aa... aa...
Aa... aa... aa... aa...
Inside a pair of hearts,
He has placed countless joys.
My beauty, may I come closer?
What is wrong if I come close?
Why feel shy any longer?
Shall I make a swing in your hair
and sway gently? Uhum hum hum hum
I gave away my heart
and found a place in yours.

and found a place in yours.
All the tricks the breeze taught me,
shall I show them to you, my dear?
All the tricks the breeze taught me,
shall I show them to you, my dear?
I gave away my heart...
In your bright, pearl-white smile,
won't pearls scatter?
The moment I come close and touch you,
won't lightning flash?
In your bright, pearl-white smile,
won't pearls scatter?
The moment I come close and touch you,
won't lightning flash?
Just as the gentle breeze
comes and plays with the flower,
with longing in my heart,
I have come to be close to you.
Sweet youth, delicious as honey,
from now on, every day is pure happiness.
I will tell you sweet stories, my love,
and cherish you with all my heart.
All the lessons you taught me,
shall I sing them now? Uhum hum hum hum
I gave away my heart
and found a place in yours.
I gave away my heart
and found a place in yours.
All the tricks the breeze taught me,
shall I show them to you, my dear?
