When my heart sways like a swing,

in a corner of my heart,

a first love is born.

To hold you tenderly in my palms,

I need that blessing—

that alone is enough.

When love comes to sing a lullaby,

won't every wound heal?

Shall I sleep quietly on your chest?

As silence softly goes

and eavesdrops on silence right now,

we can dive into the spring of desire.

When my heart sways like a swing,

in a corner of my heart,

a first love is born.

To hold you tenderly in my palms,

I need that blessing—

that alone is enough.

No matter what happens,

I will never give you up.

Keeping you safe in my eyes,

keeping you in my eyes,

I will wait and protect you.

When cruel time comes

and hurts you with pain,

with the magic of my love,

I will comfort and heal you.

Even when we grow old,

I will never walk away from you.

Asking you to pamper me,

I will stay blooming with joy.

Wanting to share hundreds of stories,

gently holding your loving face,

with a warm breath near your ear,

I will whisper my love.

Oh my girl, my girl,

messenger of boundless love,

as far as your journey goes,

I will walk beside you.

My love, oh my love,

in a life that has you in it,

even if I lose again and again,

I will surely win in the end.

When love comes to sing a lullaby,

won't every wound heal?

Shall I sleep quietly on your chest?

As silence softly goes

and eavesdrops on silence right now,

we can dive into the spring of desire.
