"You, you, come to me,"
my heart calls out.
"It is you, only you,"
my silence speaks.
Blooming in the corner of my eyes,
is a smile of joy.
The future claps its hands and blesses us.
As our fingernails brush against each other,
every day blossoms like a flower,
and from now on, there is only joy on this lofty island.
"You, you, come to me,"
my heart calls out.
"It is you, only you,"
my silence spoke.
Oh, to put a lock on desire,
who is ever there?
To place an obstacle before love,
would anyone ever come?
Without a single warning,
did this desire arrive?
Refusing to listen to reason,
did this love arrive?
Resting my head on your shoulder,
on days when we share stories,
words from past lifetimes
flow freely to our lips.
When two hearts become one,
isn't it a celebration of pure bliss?
Oh, is it shyness
that teaches us love?
Does the anger in a kiss
burn within the heart?
An affection tender as a lullaby
is right here.
To praise and celebrate this,
where are the millions of letters?
For the time you made me wait
without even blinking an eye,
we would have gently pinched each other
without causing any pain.
When life unites with life,
is it an excitement that rules the world?
Blooming in the corner of my eyes,
is a smile of joy.
The future claps its hands and blesses us.
As our fingernails brush against each other,
every day blossoms like a flower,
and from now on, there is only joy on this lofty island.
"You, you, come to me,"
my heart calls out.
"It is you, only you,"
my silence spoke.
