A youthful river, a sweet river,
A brand new bond between two hearts.
Female: With her lips pressed close,
We must write a new destiny.
A youthful river... Female: Na na na
Male: A sweet river... Female: Na na na
Male: A new bond between two hearts.
Female: Na nana la la la la
To wherever it wishes,
this mind flies away.
On brand new paths,
this is the age that steps forward.
Caught in the net of your eyes,
learning to take little steps...
A youthful river, a sweet river,
A brand new bond between two hearts.
Female: With her lips pressed close,
We must write a new destiny.

Hey hey hehehehe hey...
Hey hey hehehehe hey...
Without you, my days do not pass.
You do something to me, how can I explain it?
Female: Oh... la la la la laaa
Without you by my side, where is a path for me?
Tell me, please tell me, where should I go?
Oh nana nana naa...
In the morning mist along with the breeze,
we can go for a relaxing stroll...
Na na na na na naa...
Female: In the dew falling gently like flowers,
we can bloom just like blossoms.
Since the sky itself
walks along with us,
do not be shy, come closer to me.
A youthful river, a sweet river,
A brand new bond between two hearts.
Male: With her lips pressed close,
We must write a new destiny.
Morning and evening, our playful love
should be taught as lessons in school.
Female: Oh... la la la la laaa
If the lesson is even slightly hard to understand,
the whole school should gather right here.
Aa na na na... naa...
If my lesson gets stolen,
where can I search for it?
Female: Na na naa nana naa...
Your lesson is at my home,
you can see it if you come over.
There is no paper,
there are no written words,
as our eyes write love letters to each other.
A youthful river, a sweet river,
A brand new bond between two hearts.
With her lips pressed close,
We must write a new destiny.
To wherever it wishes,
this mind flies away.
On brand new paths,
this is the age that steps forward.
Caught in the net of your eyes,
learning to take little steps...
A youthful river, a sweet river,
A brand new bond between two hearts.
Female: With her lips pressed close,
We must write a new destiny.
