Just like this, wherever you want,
Carry me and take me away
Inch by inch,
Hold my hand and lead me along
Just like this, hold me close
And take me with you
Right at your waist,
Hook me like a keychain and take me along
If you ever touch me, I
Won't let you go
If you ask me
For one more kiss, I won't give it
Go on, you stubborn girl!
From now on, we'll swing high and free!
Oh my, caught by her man,
The little myna is trapped!
He came riding on a horse
And is carrying her away!
You are my life,
I won't give you to anyone
To leave me and walk away,
I won't let you!
Okay!
Hey, just like an iPhone,
Shall I hold you in my hand?
Shall I just touch you
And plant a sweet kiss?
Hey, on Facebook,
Shall I follow you?
Shall I check your status
And leave a like?
Oh my, my heart has become a computer,
And a virus called love
Has infected it!
The lion of the market
Has rested on my chest
And fallen fast asleep,
To a sweet lullaby
Hey, even if a black ant bites me,
I won't budge
Even when the morning sun shines bright,
I won't get up
No other work to do anymore,
There's no match quite like us!
Oh my, caught by her man,
The little myna is trapped!
He came riding on a horse
And is carrying her away!
I'm searching for a deserted town, dear,
And there, only you
I'll take along for my safety, dear
I'm going to live on an airless island, girl,
And just so I can breathe, you
I'll keep by my side, girl!
As if born anew,
My heart is leaping with joy, dear
Steal me completely
And hold me gently, dear
This girl who came to the market
Stepped right into my heart,
And has fallen completely,
Helpless in love!
Go on, you stubborn girl!
From now on, we'll swing high and free!
