What magic is this?
What has happened to me?
Is this a wound in my heart?
Has love been born?
What magic is this?
What has happened to me?
Is this a sweet joy deep in my soul?
Why is my heart stumbling?
Is this real? Is it truly real?
My love,
Will I receive you today like a blessing?
Even if I see you in my dreams every day,
I need you in reality—come to me.
For the first time in my heart,
there is a new change.
It brings this smile across my whole face.
Both my eyes keep asking who she is.
My beauty... my life...
Something never felt with anyone else,
something that cannot be explained to anyone,
dancing through her glances...
The eyes of this beautiful girl
are always so mischievous.
Without knowing if it is night or day,
shall I come right here as your shadow?
Without these still moments fading away,
shall I win your love?
Were you born just for me?
Or are you the fire burning inside me every day?
Come tame this monster, my love.
My beauty... my life...
Ho ho ho ho oh-oh-oh-oh
Ho ho ho mmm mmm mm
