Ho ha… Ho ha… aah…
Ho ha… Ho ha… aah…
Ho ha… Ho ha… aah…
Ho ha… Ho ha… aah…
Something is happening,
and I like it.
Something is happening,
and I love everything about it.
Something is happening,
and I like it.
Something is happening,
and I love everything about it.
When random people say something,
when random people ask something,
like your voice,
it all sounds to me!
Yeah yeah...
Whoever appears before me,
whoever walks past me,
just like you,
everyone looks to me!
Yeah...
Love came and in my eyes
built a nest.
Using flowers instead of stones,
it built a house!
"You fool in love!"
love scolded me,
and even when I shut the door,
it knocked on my window!
Something is happening,
and I like it.
Something is happening,
and I love everything about it.
One look,
one look,
it pushes me from the hilltop
headfirst all the way down.
Another look,
another look,
it tells me once again
to climb back up.
Oh no, she got me trapped!
She beautifully trapped me in danger!
Wings are sprouting on my shoulders,
both my feet are flying in the air!
This is no magic or sorcery,
oh, it's the sweet nuisance of love!
When random people say something,
when random people ask something,
like your voice,
it all sounds to me!
Yeah yeah...
Whoever appears before me,
whoever walks past me,
just like you,
everyone looks to me!
Yeah...
Oh ho ha aa.. aah.. aa
Oh ho ha aa.. aah.. aa
Oh ho ha aa.. aah.. aa
Ha ha haa haa.. aa… aa… aah..
For the very first time,
hesitating slightly,
yesterday at a flower stall,
I stood to buy flowers.
Today, looking at
a bangle shop,
the size of your wrist
I traced in the air!
"What is your name?"
when someone asked me,
I said your name and bit my lip!
Was I born somewhere far away
just to live my life with you?
Two hearts are beating inside me
because of this love!
When random people say something,
when random people ask something,
like your voice,
it all sounds to me!
Yeah yeah...
Whoever appears before me,
whoever walks past me,
just like you,
everyone looks to me!
Yeah...

and I love everything about it.} (2)
