...
I am running, running, running away,
Searching for my other half in love, I run.
With dreams at my fingertips and beauty all around the world,
From now on, everything is with him. Female chorus: ...
With roads turning into blossoms, with the car gliding like wind,
With changes taking root deep within. Female chorus: ...
Oh hoo ho, I am going to change my nest,
Oh hoo ho, I am going to change my sky. Female: ...
I am running, running, running away,
Searching for my other half in love, I run.
Hey, my new wings!
Why did you sprout without asking me?
Hey, prison of my heart!
Why did you open without asking me?
My single braid is for him,
The bindi on my forehead is for him,
Don't ask me what else!
The moisture of my lips is for him,
The weight of my heart is for him,
Don't ask me what else!
Oh hoo ho, I am going to change my nest,
Oh hoo ho, I am going to change my sky.
I am running, running, running away,
Searching for my other half in love, I run.
...
Hey, why are you smiling? Why are you acting up?
Don't ask me!
Hey, why are you jumping? Why are you floating?
Don't ask me!
Even when I walk talking to myself,
Even when I blow a kiss into the air,
Don't ask me what happened to me!
Even when my cheeks turn red with a blush,
Even when I hug tight and scream,
Don't ask me what happened to me!
Oh hoo ho, I am going to change my nest,
Oh hoo ho, I am going to change my sky.
