Female: So many dreams in my eyes
Chorus: Hoo
Will you come? Will you come?
Asking, "Will you come, will you come?"
I waited for you
My heart longs to say it
This youthful age is restless, not at ease
My heart longs to say it
This youthful age is restless, not at ease...
My eyes are watching the path

Chorus: Hoo
Not a single lesson from school
do I remember anymore
Even after learning a hundred lessons through my eyes,
those memories never fade
Why this hesitation
once you have learned it?
La la la, la la la la...
La la la, la la la la
Spreading the wings of love
in the breeze,
Chorus: Oh-hoo...
Male: Just thinking of it is sweet,
today the dream will come true.
Chorus: Oh-hoo...
Without sleeping, thinking only of you,
I yearned all alone...
My eyes are watching the path
Chorus: Hoo
Male: So many dreams in my eyes
Chorus: Hoo
My eyes are watching the path
Chorus: Hoo
Female: So many dreams in my eyes
Holding you on my shoulder like a child,
I will sing you a lullaby
Setting a stage of jasmine flowers,
I will dance with you
Without blinking, I admired your beauty
Having had a taste, I grew hungry for more
La la la, la la la la la...
La la la, la la la la la
Where is sleep anymore?
Chorus: Oh-hoo...
Female: Don't lose yourself in a daze
Chorus: Oh-hoo...
Adding interest to the total,
you must pay it all back in kisses!
Yearning only for you, only for you,
don't suffer and ache all alone... hoy!
My eyes are watching the path
Chorus: Hoo
Female: So many dreams in my eyes
Chorus: Hoo
My eyes are watching the path
Chorus: Hoo
Female: So many dreams in my eyes
Chorus: Hoo
Will you come? Will you come?
I kept wondering and waiting
My heart longs to say it
This youthful age is restless, not at ease
My heart longs to say it
This youthful age is restless, not at ease...
La la la, la la la la, la la...
