Won't the embers of your anger subside?
Won't a gentle drizzle of love shower down?
In your heart that scolds me so endlessly,
won't sweetness flow?
Won't the embers of your anger subside?
Won't a gentle drizzle of love shower down?
In your heart that scolds me so endlessly,
won't sweetness flow?
My precious darling, the apple of my eye...
Deep inside your heart,
I have felt your love.
The very moment you understood my heart,
I fell head over heels for you.
Ah… ah… ah…
Ah… ah… ah…
Both day and night,
my mind has completely forgotten the world,
lost in thoughts of you.
I would spend my whole life serving you,
just to confess my love.
A restless man's troubled heart
rambles endlessly,
and the deep love he holds for his woman
becomes known to the whole town.
Doesn't your heart sense the rush of my thoughts,
my queen of love?
With every single moment
that flies by when I am with you,
all masculine pride
surrenders before your womanhood.
Doesn't your heart know the words I swallow back,
my queen of love?
Whenever a tiny speck of anger rises,
the quiet truth sinks in,
and all your scolding words turn into sweet music.
My precious darling, the apple of my eye...
Deep inside your heart,
I have felt your love.
The very moment you understood my heart,
I fell head over heels for you.
Ah… ah… ah…
Ah… ah… ah…
Both day and night,
my mind has completely forgotten the world,
lost in thoughts of you.
I would spend my whole life serving you,
just to confess my love.
