Hey, at the break of dawn,
like the white moon that hides away,
girl, you hide as soon as you see me!
Mmm mmm.. mmm mmm…
Hey, at the break of dawn,
like the white moon that hides away,
girl, you hide as soon as you see me!
When the sun goes down,
like a lotus bowing its head,
girl, you blush shyly as soon as you see me!
I saw you,
I admired you,
and I lost my balance.
I followed you,
I realized my feelings,
and I fell in love.
You are the very doorway to my life,
yes, only you, girl!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Hey, at the break of dawn,
like the white moon that hides away,
girl, you hide as soon as you see me!
Hallaalaayi lay lay
Hallaalaayi lay lay
When you curve your lips
and give a smile,
you set off a spark inside my soul!
At the end of
every single word,
why do you hide a playful hint?
You look like a festive Golu doll,
you walk gracefully like a jasmine vine,
you constantly bite your nails,
you charmed me and cast a spell!
You are the rainbow I see in the night!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
At the break of dawn,
like the white moon that hides away,
girl, you hide as soon as you see me!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
You want to hide the past,
but even when you try,
you simply do not know how to act!
Forgetting reality,
with wide-eyed wonder,
I am no little boy!
Why do you
keep avoiding me,
yet blush red right before my eyes?
Coating your heart with false pretenses,
you refused to let me near.
Yet you are the fire
that strikes deep into my soul, girl!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
At the break of dawn,
like the white moon that hides away,
girl, you hide as soon as you see me!
When the sun goes down,
like a lotus bowing its head,
you blush shyly as soon as you see me,
hey... hey... girl!
