Two hearts have united
as a garland of flowers!
All the flowers have turned to honey,
because of whom?
Watching and gazing, it bloomed,
singing and singing, it matured.
Watching and gazing, it bloomed,
singing and singing, it matured.
Wings have sprouted, and hearts are flying.
Two hearts have united
as a garland of flowers!
All the flowers have turned to honey,
because of whom?
Watching and gazing, it bloomed,
singing and singing, it matured.
Watching and gazing, it bloomed,
singing and singing, it matured.
Wings have sprouted, and hearts are flying.
Two hearts have united
as a garland of flowers!
All the flowers have turned to honey,
because of whom?
...
Your heart...
Chorus: Chum chum chum

Chorus: Chum chum… chum chum chum chum
Searching for lines for a poem,
time passed away.
To sing poetry even for a stone,
the time has arrived.
Tomorrow I shall enroll in school as a student.
Two hearts have united
as a garland of flowers!
All the flowers have turned to honey,
because of whom?
Watching and gazing, it bloomed,
singing and singing, it matured.
Watching and gazing, it bloomed,
singing and singing, it matured.
Wings have sprouted, and hearts are flying.
Two hearts have united
as a garland of flowers!
Female: All the flowers have turned to honey,
because of whom?

The sleeping heart,

Beholding the beauty,

Chorus: Chum chum… chum chum chum chum
Today, breaching its shores, the ocean
seeks out the river.
A melody unknown to the worlds
touches the soul.
A thousand suns appear in the sky.
Two hearts have united
as a garland of flowers!
All the flowers have turned to honey,
because of whom?
Watching and gazing, it bloomed,
singing and singing, it matured.
Watching and gazing, it bloomed,
singing and singing, it matured.
Wings have sprouted, and hearts are flying.
Two hearts have united
