...
For the very first time,
a soft happiness came
and overflowed from the edge of my eyes today.
For the very first time,
a gentle excitement came
and showered down like rain today.
Deep within my soul,
a feeling has blossomed,
as a flash of beautiful lightning strikes.
Within my ears,
some poetry is heard,
as a gentle breeze comes and softly touches me.
For the very first time,
a soft happiness came
and overflowed from the edge of my eyes today.
For the very first time,
a gentle excitement came
and showered down like rain today.
...
You and any other are not the same,
no other fire, like you...
Chorus: Does not burn,
does not burn me.
Even if I say no, no,
even if I step away and stand apart,
Chorus: It does not let go,
love does not let go.
Ohh thana nanana nananaa
Thana nanana nananaa
Is this a one-sided connection,
or a blessing meant for both of us... aaahaaa...
Even so, a flower will bloom upon a rock.
For the very first time,
Male: For the first time,
Female: A soft happiness came
and overflowed from your eyes today.
For the very first time,
Male: For the first time,
Female: A gentle excitement came
and showered down like rain today.
Hmm..mmm..mmm
Hmm..mmm...mmm
...
Along the edge of the western sky,
at the hour when the sunlight fades,
memories come,
your memories come.
To softly stitch you and me together
and hold us close,
the moon will rise,
the evening moon will rise.
Oh, loneliness in youth,
that is the cruelest of all cruelties;
will she leave me in agony,
this beautiful doll?
Male: My darling, save my love!
For the very first time,
Oh, for the very first time,
For the very first time... haaa ohooo
For the very first time... woh ooooo
For the very first time,
a gentle excitement came
and showered down like rain today.
Deep within my soul,
a feeling has blossomed,
as a flash of beautiful lightning strikes.
Within my ears,
some poetry is heard,
as a gentle breeze comes and softly touches me.
For the very first time...
