Did you cast a magic spell? Did you cast a magic spell?
I forgot myself completely.
Did you cast a magic spell? Did you cast a magic spell?
I gave you my heart.
Threading a rainbow into my eyes,
Bringing a smile to my ears,
For the first time in my life, I truly breathed.
Like a cloud floating in the sky,
My heart, which dissolved searching for you,
Flew today even without wings.
Sweeping past like the wind, why did I
Fly without any wings?
Kanna (my love), to reach you,
Is it the picture I painted
That is standing before me?
My love, please accept me.
Are you truly the very reason I live?
You stood right near my eyelids,
And did you steal away my sleep?
Even if you are blindfolded and left in a forest,
Will you still find your way to me?
Did you cast a magic spell? Did you cast a magic spell?
I forgot myself completely.
Did you cast a magic spell? Did you cast a magic spell?
I gave you my heart.
When I touch you with my fingers,
When you look at me,
As we talk with our eyes,
The life we live together
Will turn into a never-ending life.
My love, why do you hesitate?
Even if my life departs,
Will I live on inside you?
A search, a search, searching for you
Will go on until the end of my life.
Day and night will change from now on,
And because of me, your whole world will change.
Did you cast a magic spell? Did you cast a magic spell?
I forgot myself completely.
Did you cast a magic spell? Did you cast a magic spell?
I gave you my heart.
