Jee Boom Ba!
Hey hey, Jee Boom Ba!
My angel...
show her to me!
If you show her to me,
if you unite our love,
I will worship her,
showering flowers.
Thinking of you, girl,
I almost lost my life!
To love alone,
I have sold myself!
Believing I will reach you,
the God of Death spared my life.
To your soul,
he tied me fast!
Like rain-soaked
paper,
even if my body wears away,
it is my sworn promise to reach you!
Oho...
Jee Boom Ba!
Hey hey, Jee Boom Ba!
My angel...
show her to me!
Oho... oo-oho...
Oho... oo-oho...
You will picture my face,
and cherish that sweet longing.
My gut feeling
tells me something like this...
You will wake up in the night,
and weep in secret...
thoughts like these
are killing me, girl!
O loving flower,
tender young sprout,
if I cannot see you,
my eyes are just empty hollows!
I will find you,
and sweeten my life.
Have no doubt about it,
the world is round after all!
Climbing into the atmosphere,
I will search for you across the earth.
Even if you go to another planet,
I will find a way to get there.
It is my sworn promise to reach you!
With just two eyes,
which direction can I search?
Girl, I really need
a few more eyes!
If only I had eight eyes,
I could sweep all four directions.
Then somehow,
my eyes would surely find you!
O moon that fits in my palm,
shining beauty,
where are you, where?
I sent the wind to look for you.
In the blink of an eye,
if you were to vanish,
dreading what might happen,
I hanged my sleep to death!
A meteor blazing in the sky
never crosses beyond that sky.
And you, who walk this earth,
will never cross beyond me!
It is my sworn promise to reach you!
Oho... oo... oho...
Oho... oo-oho...
Jee Boom Ba!
Hey hey, Jee Boom Ba!
My angel...
show her to me!
If you show her to me,
if you unite our love,
I will worship her,
showering flowers.
Thinking of you, girl,
I almost lost my life!
To love alone,
I have sold myself!
Believing I will reach you,
the God of Death spared my life.
To your soul,
he tied me fast!
Like rain-soaked
paper,
even if my body wears away,
it is my sworn promise to reach you!
Oho...
Oho... oo... oho...
Oho... oo-oho...
