Lalalala, ahe hey hey hey
When two clouds come together,
a flower of lightning blossoms.
When I come to the doorway thinking of you,
a flower blossoms at the window.
When two clouds come together,
a flower of lightning blossoms.
When I come to the doorway thinking of you,
a flower blossoms at the window, mmm mmm mmm.
I am your prisoner,
you are my prisoner,
there is no way to escape.
There is a little pain in this,
yet it brings such joy,
we can never break free, haha.
I am your prisoner,
you are my prisoner,
there is no way to escape.
There is a little pain in this,
yet it brings such joy,
we can never break free.
Love is full of passion,
it is the same for everyone.
Ah, it feels so comforting,
and now it has become real.
When two clouds come together,
a flower of lightning blossoms.
When I come to the doorway thinking of you,
a flower blossoms at the window.
To live beside the moon,
I once had a dream;
today, it comes true.
Like a gentle shadow,
the moment you arrived here,
the colors of my life began to change.
Aa aa
To live beside the moon,
I once had a dream;
today, it comes true.
Like a gentle shadow,
the moment you arrived here,
the colors of my life began to change.
Look at the corner of your lips,
see how soft and moist they are!
O embodiment of love,
you are this man's life partner.
When two clouds come together,
a flower of lightning blossoms.
When I come to the doorway thinking of you,
a flower blossoms at the window.
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Aaha ha ha ha ha
