I will protect you,

I will take good care of you.

I will protect you,

like my own two eyes, I will protect you.

I will protect you,

I will take good care of you.

I will protect you,

like my own two eyes, I will protect you.

I will watch over you in silence,

I will watch over you, asking you to speak.

Without sleeping, without longing,

without ever leaving your side, I will protect you.

In my heart, I will protect you,

as long as I live, I will protect you.

In my heart, I will protect you,

as long as I live, I will protect you.

I will protect you,

I will take good care of you.

I will protect you,

like my own two eyes, I will protect you.

Like a light in the dark,

I came to know you.

In a heartbeat, my very life,

I was ready to give.

An angel by the roadside,

that is who you are.

Looking at you, I became a complete man.

Girl, lost in your thoughts,

I completely dissolved.

Even on solid ground, I wandered upside down.

When you plowed with your eyes,

I blossomed like a fertile field.

I will protect you,

I will take good care of you.

I will protect you,

like my own two eyes, I will protect you.

Through the rain and the hot sun,

I will hold an umbrella over you.

Every day in my heart,

I will capture your picture.

Without expecting anything at all,

without overstepping my bounds even a bit,

I will string you like a precious bead into my life.

Within my thoughts, without turning away, I will gaze at your face.

Turning into a mother for you,

I will tenderly shelter you without fail.

I will protect you,

I will take good care of you.

I will protect you,

like my own two eyes, I will protect you.

I will watch over you in silence,

I will watch over you, asking you to speak.

Without sleeping, without longing,

without ever leaving your side, I will protect you.

In my heart, I will protect you,

as long as I live, I will protect you.

In my heart, I will protect you,

as long as I live, I will protect you.
