Your image has fallen into my eyes
Is this a dream?
Even knowing it is real,
does my heart refuse to believe it?
To hold her fingers,
did my heart hesitate?
In the flutter of her eyes,
will my soul be lost?
Why did you come here, girl?
The beautiful moments with you are killing me
After eleven springs have passed,
why do you perch inside me like a bird?
Will I suffer in pain from now on?
Will I smile because of her from now on?
My heart that had stopped is beating now, girl
It is beating...
Is it her, is it her,
the one who touched me and went away?
Like dew upon a flower,
I fell into her gaze
...
O joy, O joy,
why did you come as reality?
O reflection, O reflection,
why did you fade away like a shadow?
Knowing it was like fire,
I still stepped in
Like cool water, you, girl,
soothed and cooled me down
Why did time dissolve into the wind?
Am I a prisoner here today?
Love did not end that day
I have a message for you, girl
Will I fall into the dust today?
I want a life with you
Come back, those days,
I want them again, I only want you
Is it her, is it her,
the one who walked away from me?
She gave me pain,
I am broken today because of you
Even one day is enough,
I yearn to live with you
Not as a shadow,
come be with me as a small reality
Will I smile because of her from now on?
My heart that had stopped is beating now, girl
