……………………………..
Looking at your beauty,
I was completely mesmerized.
Those moist, soft lips...
Oh no, I fell head over heels.
Oh go on, your face...
shines like a million moons.
It shines so brightly.
To hold you close,
to brush gently against you,
my heart yearns and yearns.
Along the path you walk,
I will follow you,
like dust upon the road.
Will you kill me with your gentle pampering?
Oh hoo...
Like a swing in the corner of my heart,
you swayed in the evening.
In the golden evening drizzle,
it was only you I saw.
Like a swing in the corner of my heart,
you swayed in the evening.
In the golden evening drizzle,
it was only you I saw.
Ohhh ooo
A pathway made just for me,
and walking on it like my shadow,
you followed behind me.
In this world where I struggled all alone,
are you that new soul yearning for me...
...is it you?
Oh girl, what has happened to me?
My days have turned upside down.
Waiting for the last bus,
am I that lonely traveler?
An unexplained joy and sorrow,
both blending together in my heart,
I have become totally lost, girl...
With a single kiss,
you sweetened my world,
with the corner of your eyes,
you cast a glance and walk away.
Everything has changed,
something completely new has happened,
I don't even know how to explain this.
Little by little...
Who are you, girl? You threw a stone inside
and tossed flowers on the outside!
In this overflowing celebration,
I stand torn in two.
Who are you, girl? You threw a stone inside
and tossed flowers on the outside!
In this overflowing celebration,
I stand torn in two.
