What you see here, to anyone
Do not tell—just look!
From now on, to school or anywhere else
Do not go—look at me!
Look into my eyes... look at this woman...
What you see here, to anyone
Do not tell—just look!
From now on, to school or anywhere else
Do not go—look at me!
Look into my eyes... look at this woman...
In this flower-strewn bedroom,
In a mood where you effortlessly lose yourself,
As long as our youth lasts,
We should come together soon!

We should come together soon!
What you see here, to anyone
Do not tell—just look!
From now on, to school or anywhere else
Do not go—look at me!
Look into my eyes... look at this woman...
Embrace this tender girl,
She is only sixteen years old!
A charm like this is rare,
The night will tell you it is true!

Look into my eyes... look at this woman...
It softly calls out to you,
It tastes sweet like honey.
Yet, without knowing this new delight,
What is the point of youth?
It softly calls out to you,
It tastes sweet like honey.
Yet, without knowing this new delight,
What is the point of youth?
What you see here, to anyone
Do not tell—just look!
From now on, to school or anywhere else
Do not go—look at me!
