With intoxicating eyes,
Don't shatter the world the moment you look.
Somewhere inside a dot in the Milky Way,
Don't tie me down and pull at my heart.
A sweet candy breeze,
Clouds flashing lightning... hey!
Drop by drop, the sky
Losing itself at this moment... hey!
She came along,
She brought a warm fire,
Just thinking of her for a moment,
She filled my very soul.
Oh, I have become a peacock,
And isn't that rain me, after all?
With intoxicating eyes,
Don't shatter the world the moment you look.
Somewhere inside a dot in the Milky Way,
Don't tie me down and pull at my heart.
I was peacefully somewhere,
Don't come looking for me to torment me so.
I fell into the honey of sheer beauty,
Don't send me anywhere away from you.
When I think of you,
Windows open all around me,
A stream-bird flies into my room.
All five of my senses
Are like restless monkeys running wild,
Ten million waterfalls inside a cup of foam.
In a dream at dawn,
I become an entire world just for you.
On the sandy path,
Male: Savoring the distance,
Female: The plants in love,
Even while staying apart,
Male: Growing deep in love,
Female: Showering flowers,
Male: Singing in pure joy,
Female: Admiring the sky,
Female: If I look at a female parrot,
My heart only thinks of you.
You didn't come merely as a companion,
You are effortlessly my other half.
