Hey, did the love that was lost
after all this time
come back before me on its own?
Oh, without a single word, a kiss
at a mischievous moment—
did it send a chill through your heart?
Hey, did the love that was lost
after all this time
come back before me on its own?
Oh, without a single word, a kiss
at a mischievous moment—
did it send a chill through your heart?
Hey, my sweet school-days songbird,
my peaceful, sweet sleep,
why did you leave me
and where did you go, my dear?
My sweet little tiger,
the voice of my heart,
I will never leave you again,
you are my very eyes.
Hey, did the love that was lost
after all this time
come back before me on its own?
Oh, without a single word, a kiss
at a mischievous moment—
did it send a chill through your heart?
...
Hey, while walking
in a waking sleep,
I saw you like a dream.
I stand here bewildered,
my love, all because of you.
Hey, if it was only
a kiss in a dream,
why is there moisture on your lips?
Do not wipe it away—once again,
I gave it of my own accord.
Tiny drop of drizzle,
daughter of the stars,
you fell right into my hands,
my red-lipped flower.
O handsome man,
only after you arrived,
did my own heart
sprout wings of its own...
...
Hey, pressing her lips to mine,
and touching both my eyes,
did she drink my heart away? Oh...
Hey, striking me with flowers,
turning me into a prisoner for life,
did she lock me up in prison? Oh...
Hey, did the love that was lost
after all this time
come back before me on its own?
Did it come? Did it come? Did it come?
