Our eyes have met each other
Our hearts have grown close to each other
Having let me come so close to you
Why this shyness now, tell me, my little bird?
Our eyes have met each other
Our hearts have grown close to each other
Having let me come so close to you
Why this shyness now, tell me, my little bird?
Our eyes have met each other
Our hearts have grown close to each other
Touched by this handsome man's gaze
This little bird flutters with shyness
Our eyes have met each other
Our hearts have grown close to each other
Touched by this handsome man's gaze
This little bird flutters with shyness
Charming me completely with your eyes
And letting my longing for you grow
Is it right to hide your own desire?
I only looked away and hid my eyes
I did not hide myself from you
Do I still need to explain any more?
Charming me completely with your eyes
And letting my longing for you grow
Is it right to hide your own desire?
I only looked away and hid my eyes
I did not hide myself from you
Do I still need to explain any more?
Rushing ahead eagerly
Can you come scattering your pearl-like laughter?
Coming with gentle and tender feelings
Can you teach this girl who looks like a picture?
Rushing ahead eagerly
Can you come scattering your pearl-like laughter?
Coming with gentle and tender feelings
Can you teach this girl who looks like a picture?
Our eyes have met each other
Our hearts have grown close to each other
Female: Touched by this handsome man's gaze
This little bird flutters with shyness
Whatever I had in mind when I came
Whatever I came here to claim
I have forgotten it all completely
Speak to me, and I will listen
Show your love, and I will welcome it
After all, do I not belong to you?
Whatever I had in mind when I came
Whatever I came here to claim
I have forgotten it all completely
Speak to me, and I will listen
Show your love, and I will welcome it
After all, do I not belong to you?
What is this, in a young girl's heart
Why are there so many thoughts?
Coming up softly and slowly
Why ask so many questions to a young girl?
What is this, in a young girl's heart
Why are there so many thoughts?
Coming up softly and slowly
Why ask so many questions to a young girl?
Our eyes have met each other
Our hearts have grown close to each other
