My heart, oh my heart is leaping with joy
Flashing like lightning in my eyes
Did I exist all this while just for this?
Did I wander around without realizing it?
Not knowing day from night
Did I wander around blindly?
Female: As the other half of your eyes
Will I walk beside you till the very end of life?
Did I exist all this while just for this?
Did I wander around without realizing it?
All the curses have ended
All the wounds have faded away
Even at the end of your lifetime
My life continues alongside yours
If you and I are together
The true meaning of life becomes clear
Our hearts are beating as one
My entire heart is filled with joy
Did I exist all this while just for this?
Did I wander around without realizing it?
Did I exist all this while just for this?
Did I struggle, unable to understand?
Was I born only for you?
Did I step into your eyes?
Even though I know the language of love
Did I struggle, left without words?
I long to pour out my love
My heart yearns for your beauty
Like a vessel that never runs empty
Desire overflows within my heart
If she becomes the language of music
If she becomes every direction I turn
If she becomes a gentle feather
If she becomes the wings that fly
Did I exist all this while just for this?
Male: Did I exist?
Female: Did I wander around without realizing it?
Male: Did I wander?
Did I exist all this while just for this?
Male: Did I exist?
Did I struggle, unable to understand?
