As the moon's nectar melts and flows,
a flower umbrella opens wide.
As the flower gets soaked and familiar,
a moon-like face breaks into a smile.
The message received from the moon,
Female: like a riddle...
Thana nanana thana nana nanana nana nanana
Male: The date when love was born,
Female: is it this day or that?
Both: Nananana nananana
The stars in the sky are singing!
To figure out the secret, the white clouds
dance together!
As the moon's nectar melts and flows,
a flower umbrella opens wide.
As the flower gets soaked and familiar,
a moon-like face breaks into a smile.
Arriving without my eyelids knowing,
you are the beauty who stole my gaze.
Nanana nananaa
With the jingling sound of your bangles,
you are the poem that stole my words.
Nanana nananaa
Oh, my heart takes flight like a parrot,
searching for your shoulder.
Like a cloud, the thought of love
drifts in and envelops me.
Before the town and people find out,
my heart keeps running after you...
As the moon's nectar melts and flows,
a flower umbrella opens wide.
As the flower gets soaked and familiar,
a moon-like face breaks into a smile.
The message received from the moon,
Female: like a riddle...
Thana nanana thana nana nanana nana nanana
Male: The date when love was born,
Female: is it this day or that?
Both: Nananana nananana
The stars in the sky are singing!
To figure out the secret, the white clouds
dance together!
As the moon's nectar melts and flows,
a flower umbrella opens wide.
As the flower gets soaked and familiar,
a moon-like face breaks into a smile.
Coming along to be your companion,
my heart opens like an umbrella in your beauty.
Nanana nananaa
Around your waist today,
my life softly twines like a climbing vine.
Nanana nananaa
Oh, even when I close my eyes in sleep,
your flower-like face appears in my dreams.
Isn't love a seed that stirs and pushes
from deep inside to break open?
Won't this sweet ache of love that pinches my soul
be healed today by you, and only you?
As the moon's nectar melts and flows,
a flower umbrella opens wide.
As the flower gets soaked and familiar,
a moon-like face breaks into a smile.
The message received from the moon,
Female: like a riddle...
Thana nanana thana nana nanana nana nanana
Male: The date when love was born,
Female: is it this day or that?
Both: Nananana nananana
The stars in the sky are singing!
To figure out the secret, the white clouds
dance together!
As the moon's nectar melts and flows,
a flower umbrella opens wide.
As the flower gets soaked and familiar,
a moon-like face breaks into a smile.
