Like a stream of flowing light,
across my entire heart,
she made lightning blossom...
To paint a picture of love,
into my life,
she brought colors...
What kind of magic is this?
The moment I looked into her eyes,
my heart turned utterly shy.
A painting of two shadows,
I watch them move,
and I lost myself completely to her...
Like sunshine in the rainy season...
With love alone as my companion...
If you are by my side,
not just reaching the sky,
but to go far beyond it,
I will find the strength, my girl...
Like sunshine in the rainy season...
On the battlefield,
even if a sword comes
and strikes me down here,
I will die peacefully in your thoughts.
Hanging by a thread,
if this life somehow survives
and gets a chance,
I will return again by your grace...
Oh, even a storm sweeping through the wind
becomes a gentle breeze in love...
Even after the days run out and pass,
love will stay waiting, longing for you.
Like sunshine in the rainy season...
Like a stream of flowing light,
across your entire heart,
I made lightning blossom...
To paint a picture of love,
into your life,
I gave a splash of color...
What kind of magic is this?
The moment I looked at your face,
my heart turned utterly shy.
A painting of two shadows,
seeing them move,
I lost myself completely to you...
Are you sunshine in the rainy season?
I have lost myself within you...
When I am by your side,
not just reaching the sky,
but to go far beyond it,
I will find the strength, my love...
Are you sunshine in the rainy season?
I melted away with the sunshine...
