Our eyes met for a moment,
and my heart was wounded.
My hand reached out and touched you,
and the chill left my body.
Our eyes met for a moment,
and my heart was wounded.
My hand reached out and touched you,
and the chill left my body.
As twilight slips away,
as time passes by,
desire arose,
and when it began for the very first time,
a sweet dizziness took over.
The blossoming look in your opening eyes
fell straight into my heart.
The blossoming look in your opening eyes
fell straight into my heart.
Laughing and swaying with charm, that beauty
fell into my lap.
Laughing and swaying with charm, that beauty
fell into my lap.
Our eyes met for a moment,
and my heart was wounded.
My hand reached out and touched you,
and the chill left my body.
Is shy modesty hiding
this stunning golden face?
Or is desire blinding the eyes
that gaze upon this young woman?
When you only look at the covered body,
can you see the heart within?
In the flood surging within that heart,
can you understand this bond of love?
Our eyes met for a moment,
and my heart was wounded.
My hand reached out and touched you,
and the chill left my body.
Why does a chill catch me
even in the heat of summer?
Why does the body burn with fever
even in the freezing cold season?
These berry-red lips have turned pale—
what is the reason?
These berry-red lips have turned pale—
what is the reason?
Your milky white eyes have turned red—
what is the secret behind it?
Your milky white eyes have turned red—
what is the secret behind it?
Our eyes met for a moment,
and my heart was wounded.
My hand reached out and touched you,
and the chill left my body.
