Oh girl who stole my heart,
You who discovered my youth, hey hey!
Oh girl who stole my heart, pa pa pa,
You who discovered my youth,
A lovely face just for me every day,
An urgency rushes into my eyes.
I read the telegram of your heart and came running, oh my!
Here at lightning speed,
I saw you right by the window's edge!
Just like breath,
These lungs take you in every single day.
If you are not with me,
These lungs feel incomplete and flawed.
Every single day, the melody of love
Is what my body yearns to experience.
Male: Staying forever in my heart,
Your name is my national anthem here!
Aa....aa.....aa....aa....
Oh boy who stole my heart,
You who discovered my youth...
Even if the month of April is scorching hot,
Holding you makes it feel like cool December!
Even if the month of December is freezing cold,
Leaving you makes it feel like burning April!
Just for you, my sweet companion,
I have been melting away for days on end.
Female: When you touch me, shyness awakens,
After a little while passes,
The heavenly bliss you ask for will be born!
Male: Pa pa pa
Oh girl who stole my heart, pa pa pa,
You who discovered my youth,
A lovely face just for me every day,
An urgency rushes into my eyes.
I read the telegram of your heart and came running, oh my!
Here at lightning speed,
I saw you right by the window's edge!
Male: Hamma hammamma aiyo hamma
Female: Aiyo aiyaiyayo.... haha....
