Hey hey ..hey hey
Hey hey ..hey hey
Hey hey... hey hey
Hey hey... hey hey
What sweet joy, what sweet joy inside me!
Where were you all these days, my girl?
Not like a lamp that looks for darkness,
you came into me as pure light.
I hold only you inside my heart,
your love is everything to my soul.
My youth stumbles and leaps with joy,
shouting out loud about our bond.
It tosses and sweeps over me,
like a sudden gust of wind catching hold!
Female: My heart is restless and yearning,
this sweet daze refuses to clear!
Male: I was living only half a life,
but your love has brought me back.
What sweet joy, what sweet joy inside me!
I am the girl who was waiting just for you.
Hey hey... hey hey
Hey hey... hey hey
Just resting my head on your lap
is a special blessing on its own.
Female: With you by my side as my companion,
even a simple hut becomes a palace.
I want to live only for you,
and protect you as dear as life itself.
Female: For as long as I live,
I want to keep longing for you.
Your love is as precious as my own eyes,
you are the true joy of my heart.
Female: Your love is as precious as my own eyes,
you are the true joy of my heart.
Male: Peace of mind is overflowing now,
I don't need anything else.
What sweet joy, what sweet joy inside me!
Where were you all these days, my girl?
Female: Not like a lamp that looks for darkness,
you came into me as pure light.
I hold only you inside my heart,
your love is everything to my soul.
Female: My youth stumbles and leaps with joy,
shouting out loud about our bond.
It tosses and sweeps over me,
like a sudden gust of wind catching hold!
Female: My heart is restless and yearning,
this sweet daze refuses to clear!

but your love has brought me back.
