You waited for me, my love
You are indeed my true love
A hundred thousand stars are raining down
Ma Pa Sa Ni Pa Ni Dha Pa Ga Ma Dha Pa
Ma Pa Sa Ni Pa Ni Dha Pa Ga Ma Ma Dha Pa
Ma Pa Ma Ga Ni Sa
Ri Ri Pa Ma Ga Sa
Ma Pa Ma Ga Ni Sa
Ri Ri Pa Ma Ga Sa
You waited for me, my love
You are indeed my true love
A hundred thousand stars are raining down
With just your eyes, my love
You melted me completely
My sweet tears of joy fall upon you
Like a raindrop falling from the sky into the sea
I will blend into your eyes like your very pupil
Like a shadow that clings to the body
I will follow right behind you
Because of you, an earthquake shakes my heart
The breeze makes the flowers blossom
Love awakens all the senses
Our lovers' quarrel is over and gone
Let us love
Love blossoms only once
The true search begins after two hearts merge
Where is the beginning and where is the end in love?
Let us love
You waited for me, my love
I had already bloomed for you long ago
You waited for me, my love
I had already bloomed for you long ago
You waited for me, my love
You are indeed my true love
A hundred thousand stars are raining down
My love, my love
In the tender words you spoke
My head touches the heavens, girl
The moment you said yes
All my male pride simply melted away, girl
You gave life to all my longing
You lengthened the days of my life
You made them longer...
You claimed my entire world
And gifted me the kingdom of your smile
Ah, my love, I made you ache for me
I took away your sleep
And left you restless, my life
I have realized that your love is true
Girl, I was waiting along every path you took
From now on, I will be the path you walk upon
I gave my heart and merged into you
Because of you, an earthquake shakes my heart
My sweet cuckoo... my soft sunshine... my little beauty, I love you
My golden grace... my wonder... my dream, I love you
You waited for me, my love
You are indeed my true love
A hundred thousand stars are raining down
With just your eyes, my love
You melted me completely
My sweet tears of joy fall upon you
Like a raindrop falling from the sky into the sea
I will blend into your eyes like your very pupil
Like a shadow that clings to the body
I will follow right behind you
Because of you, an earthquake shakes my heart
{Aahh Aahhaa Aahh Aaaahhaahh...
Ooohh Oh ..Ooh Ooh..Ooohh...} (2)
