To hold back a rushing stream,
As the spoken words of love are held back,
Is this the scent of pain? Ooh...
Losing all control, my heart bursts on its own,
Even the scorching sun hits me like a cold chill,
Rising to the crown of my head, shaking my very soul,
She set fire to my tender heart and burned it.
Like a flower, she scattered sparks of fire into a stone,
She slipped deep inside and beat along with my heart,
She sowed hundreds of bundles of desires,
With knife-sharp eyes, she slashed me recklessly.
Rolling her eyes,
A girl has completely captivated me.
Rolling her eyes,
A girl has completely captivated me.
A slap of love landed,
And my heart blushed red on its own.
A slap of love landed,
And my heart blushed red on its own.
Losing all control, my heart bursts on its own,
Even the scorching sun hits me like a cold chill,
Rising to the crown of my head, shaking my very soul,
He set fire to my tender heart and burned it.
Like a flower, he scattered sparks of fire into a stone,
He slipped deep inside and beat along with my heart,
He sowed hundreds of bundles of desires,
With knife-sharp eyes, he slashed me recklessly.
...
To hold back a rushing stream,
As the spoken words of love are held back,
As the scent of pain wafts in the air,
Like the thirst waiting at the doorstep,
Like the affection shown while speaking,
As the sound turns into a mirage,
The green groves will carry this longing heart away,
Swiftly, the lines of our love will come together.
He smiled like a pretty picture,
He trapped me and tangled me up.
He smiled like a pretty picture,
He trapped me and tangled me up.
A slap of love landed,
And my heart blushed red on its own.
A slap of love landed,
And my heart blushed red on its own.
Losing all control, my heart bursts on its own,
Even the scorching sun hits me like a cold chill,
Rising to the crown of my head, shaking my very soul,
She set fire to my tender heart and burned it.
Like a flower, he scattered sparks of fire into a stone,
He slipped deep inside and beat along with my heart,
He sowed hundreds of bundles of desires,
With knife-sharp eyes, he slashed me recklessly.
A slap of love landed,
And my heart blushed red on its own.
Both: A slap of love landed,
And my heart blushed red on its own.
