What else, what else do you want?
Just say the word once, that is enough.
I would place even the moon as a doormat beneath your feet... I will place it.
You do not even have to speak,
just a blink of your eyes is enough.
Without asking any questions, I would give my very life.
Oh... ohoh...
Oh, silence, silence, silence... why this silence, why this silence?
What else do you want, what do you need? I will do it, I will do it.
Who is he? Who is he? Why did he come here?
He smiles and admires, just for me, only for me.
I do not even know what has happened to me,
the fever in my breath has not cooled down.
Oh, what is this, what is this? How did I get caught like this?
Do I like this or not? Whom should I ask to find out?
All the flowers, all the flowers in the garden,
all those colorful flowers,
turn their heads to look, but it was you I called.
Yes, it was you that I called.
Female: O heart, my heart, who placed you inside?
Male: Along every path you walk, both my palms will support your steps.
Who is he? Who is he? Why did he come here?
He smiles and admires, just for me, only for me.
I do not even know what has happened to me,
the fever in my breath has not cooled down.
Oh, what is this, what is this? How did I get caught like this?
Do I like this or not? Whom should I ask to find out?
Whom should I ask to find this out?
Anklets on my feet, anklets on my feet, you make me angry,
I am getting angry with you.
I was longing to act shy right there, but you chimed in and ruined it,
you wretched thing, you came and ruined it!
Female: Why, oh why, did you make me look at you?
Male: Was it only to see you that I waited across lifetimes?
Who is he? Who is he? Why did he come here?
He smiles, he admires... mm-hmm mm-hmm...
It is me, it is me who came for you,
I smile, I admire, just for you, only for you.
Even I do not know what has happened to me,
the fever in my breath has not cooled down.
Oh, what is this, what is this? Just speak to me,
tell me once whether you like me or not.
Just tell me once... just tell me once...
Just tell me once... tell me... tell me... tell me...
