Today is the first day,
Something unknown
Might change you into someone new,
And spark a fire here and there.
My heart is singing,
Who taught it to sing?
If I tell it to stop, it doesn't stop immediately, does it?
Whatever I say, it just doesn't listen, does it?
Oh, my beloved...
Today is the first day,
Something unknown
Might change you into someone new,
And spark a fire here and there.
The drizzle drifting all around
Tells this truth:
Love is cool like a gentle chill,
Soft as a floating cloud.
Until it touches you,
Doesn't the heart feel sweet? Tell me.
I haven't drowned completely,
Nor have I floated without sinking.
Those who fall into the ocean of love
Experience this!
Wo ho wo wo
I came a long way
Without letting the love bug catch me.
Today is the first day,
Oh-ho-oh
Something unknown.. oh-ho-oh
Might gently change me,
And spark a fire here and there.
In a young heart,
Sow the seeds of love!
Otherwise, you are just a lonely island.
If life becomes a burden, say no to it!
Oh-ho-oh... oh-oh-oh
Just speaking with your lips
The word called love
Brings trouble right along with it.
For as long as you live,
Your eyes will lose their sleep.
Aah aah aah aah... wo wo..
What joy is there in life,
Without carrying the pain of love?
Today is the first day,
Something unknown
Might change you into someone new,
And spark a fire here and there.
Love is the only thing
That makes flowers shine like diamonds.
The joys it creates reach the highest peak,
And yet, sorrow is all that
Remains behind.
Oho, pretty girl... yeah...
Hosanna, golden girl...
