Oh my heart, oh my heart
Aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaaaaaaaaaa...
Oh my heart, oh my heart, why this confusion?
This is the very age to fall in love
Wipe the dew from the flowers and write poems on them
Hand over your love letter and send the moon as a messenger
Oh heart, oh heart... yeah
Oh my heart, oh my heart, why this confusion?
This is the very age to fall in love
Aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaaaaaaaa...
Just so that you can breathe me in every day,
Shall I turn into a gentle breeze in the air?
Just so that you can play me every day,
Shall I become a veena in your hands?
There is no rain, yet I am drenched—is it the drizzle of our love?
I freeze when I look at you—is your gaze made of electricity?
I have given myself to you, now give yourself to me
Oh heart, oh heart... yeah
Oh my heart, oh my heart, why this confusion?
This is the very age to fall in love
Aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaa aaaaaaaaaa...
Just to enter into your dreams,
I stay awake every single night
Just to settle down inside your heart,
I swim through your eyes
Touch my shadow just once, and you will become my reflection
Grant me just this one wish, to spend my life with you
Here is an ocean of endless pleasure
Oh heart, oh heart... yeah
Oh my heart, oh my heart, why this confusion?
This is the very age to fall in love
Oh my heart, oh my heart, why this confusion?
This is the very age to fall in love
Wipe the dew from the flowers and write poems on them
Hand over your love letter and send the moon as a messenger
Oh heart, oh heart... yeah
Oh my heart, oh my heart, why this confusion?
This is the very age to fall in love
