You, firefly girl,
Came into my heart.
With your sparkling eyes,
You won me over.
I just stand frozen,
My heart skipping a beat as I look,
Whenever you come close.
I stammer and stumble,
Instantly swept away,
Whenever I hear your voice.
You, firefly girl,
Came into my heart.
With your sparkling eyes,
You won me over.
Oh, in never-ending dreams,
I scatter apart.
By the words you speak,
I break apart too.
I see a magical rainbow in you;
I am no longer myself, somehow completely lost.
You, firefly girl,
Came into my heart.
With your sparkling eyes,
You won me over.
Let life melt away,
As the warmth of your love rises.
Let our love grow stronger,
As I walk beside you, shoulder to shoulder, my girl.
Let that shyness stay,
For me to see at the corners of your eyes.
I will keep writing,
My beautiful girl, your name.
You are a flower bud, and you are a raincloud;
You are the lightning glancing in your eyes.
You are the movement, and you are the vibration;
You are the metaphor that stirs my soul.
Oh, in a world without you,
Even my shadow will not follow.
Having you is enough; nothing else
Will my heart ever ask for.
You, firefly girl,
Came into my heart.
With your sparkling eyes,
You won me over.
(Humming...)
