My radiant gem
Only thoughts of you
Aha haan haha haha haan
Aha haan haha haha haan
My radiant gem
Only your thoughts fill my heart
Without seeing you
A crack appears in my soul, girl
My radiant gem
Only your thoughts fill my heart
Without seeing you
A crack appears in my soul, girl
I was just minding my own business
Giving me love, you
Torment me so... why?
Which was locked away
Into my nest of dreams
You entered... why?
When you lit a lamp
I reached out to touch you
Like a little moth... even me
Even for a single second
Without ever parting
I need you to stay by my side
Like the wind... you blend into my heart on your own
Something... is happening inside me because of you
To cross... every obstacle will be crossed because of you
Stay forever... inside me, my girl
I was just minding my own business
Giving me love, you
Torment me so... why?
Even for a single second
Without ever parting
I need you to stay by my side
As time stretches on at your feet
Desires to live are endless
Even if another lifetime continues
To desire again and again, you are enough
My beating heart
Cries out wanting only you
In this world, never letting you go
I need a blessing to stay with you forever
Unable to keep my feet on the ground, I become stubborn
Crazed with the thought that she alone is enough
With me close by here, joined in soul there
I am melting into you here
Like the wind... you blend into my heart on your own
Something... is happening inside me because of you
To cross... every obstacle will be crossed because of you
Stay forever... inside me, my girl
I was just minding my own business
Giving me love, you
Torment me so... why?
Which was locked away
Into my nest of dreams
You entered... why?
When you lit a lamp
I reached out to touch you
Like a little moth... even me
Even for a single second
Without ever parting
I need you to stay by my side
My radiant gem...
