Hoooo kannaalae…
Through your eyes, through your eyes,
I nurtured love, my dream.
Because of you, only because of you, I smiled.
With me, with me,
if you are with me, my love,
leaning shoulder upon shoulder, I'll forget myself.
Every second without you,
I am not myself.
Just by being near you,
my breath gets stolen away.
Through your eyes, through your eyes,
Oh... oh...
Because of you, because of you...
Through your eyes, through your eyes,
I nurtured love, my dream.
Because of you, only because of you, I smiled.
With me, with me,
if you are with me, my love,
leaning shoulder upon shoulder, I'll forget myself.
Is this love...?
In a river where only the banks seem to move,
let us get drenched without getting wet... come!
Without losing our senses...
Silence in one eye is enough,
but why in the other eye,
is there a word, just one word,
for you to say,
and for me to keep listening?
There, all around beside you,
as Neythal flowers bloom...
As I work magic for you,
let love gently,
steal you away like a thief!
Is this love...?
To avenge the eyes longing for you,
come, I must have my payback,
without sleeping at all...
As a dawn that never breaks
turns into our clothing,
you came, and you will keep coming,
your sweet longing,
as I soothe and satisfy it...
Somewhere, everywhere near me,
as Neythal flowers bloom...
As my body
becomes a painted picture,
the heart that searches for you,
turns more and more into eyes!
Hoo... oh...
Female: Through your eyes, through your eyes,
I nurtured love, my dream.
Because of you, only because of you, I smiled.
With me, with me,
if you are with me, my love,
leaning shoulder upon shoulder, I'll forget myself.
Through your eyes... through your eyes...
Male: Through your eyes... through your eyes...
Through your eyes... through your eyes...
Through your eyes... through your eyes...
Through your eyes, through your eyes,
I nurtured love, my dream.
Male & Chorus: With me, with me,
if you are with me, my love,
leaning shoulder upon shoulder, I'll forget myself.
Oh... through your eyes...
