Buddy, time isn't passing,
I don't even like the movie,
I see no pleasant green anywhere,
and not even a breeze is blowing.
Oh...
Why is a lotus here,
instead of resting in the water?
Why should those two delicate feet
get bruised walking on the ground?
Why is a painting here,
instead of staying on paper?
Why have its thousands and thousands
of colors turned into a woman?
Oh...
Oh...
Will I survive this?
I'm gasping for breath,
and passing a hundred degrees,
my fever keeps rising.
Every single thought
becomes that girl.
Just like a play,
the days go by.
I feel like scattering
a thousand flowers.
The moment she appears,
all my sins are washed away.
Because of this woman,
even the breeze changes.
The warmth of the weather
is utterly defeated.
The moment I wake up in the morning,
her face is before my eyes,
introducing me
to a brand new version of myself.
A flower garden that never existed
until this day,
all of a sudden, out of nowhere,
why has it bloomed everywhere?
Just the certainty that I will see you
each and every day
has sent an earthquake
that leaves me shivering with excitement.
Oh...
Oh...
Will I survive this?
I'm gasping for breath,
and passing a hundred degrees,
my fever keeps rising.
Every single thought
becomes that girl.
Just like a play,
the days go by.
Why is it that when I see you,
memories of past lives
weave across several threads
and keep coming and going?
When I go back home,
your face is there too.
I must come with bold resolve
and win your heart.
O moon...
Looking from afar is not enough.
Even if I say to it,
'Come to me,' it won't just arrive.
A few simple words,
I am gathering together.
Like precious diamonds,
I am stringing them one by one.
Unless I speak something to you,
it will never melt away—
this freezing ice...
