Hey girl, hey girl
Hey girl, hey girl
Hey girl, girl, girl
As soon as I open my eyes, oh Lord,
show my love right in front of my eyes...
What is happening to me, oh Lord?
Oh my, the world spins in a single second!
Like sweet sandalwood arriving on a chariot...
The moment I saw you in person,
my hands and feet are dancing and singing,
and you are the only reason!
Oh precious gem born to my aunt,
like a living portrait swaying as you walk...
The moment I see you, with a sudden jolt,
my heart leaps and jumps!
As soon as I open my eyes, oh Lord,
show my love right in front of my eyes...
What is happening to me, oh Lord?
Oh my, the world spins in a single second!
Oh... oh... oh...
As soon as I open my eyes, oh Lord,
show my love right in front of my eyes...
What is happening to me, oh Lord?
Oh my, the world spins in a single second!
Hey girl, hey girl
Hey girl, hey girl
Hey girl, girl, girl
As soon as I open my eyes, oh Lord,
show my love right in front of my eyes...
What is happening to me, oh Lord?
Oh my, the world spins in a single second!
Like sweet sandalwood arriving on a chariot...
The moment I saw you in person,
my hands and feet are dancing and singing,
and you are the only reason!
Oh precious gem born to my aunt,
like a living portrait swaying as you walk...
The moment I see you, with a sudden jolt,
my heart leaps and jumps!
