Like music,
his voice sounds in my ears.
Like magic glue,
he intertwines his hand with mine.
Searching deep inside me,
gathering the honey of my life,
he stores it away.
Stealing this girl away,
he makes her beautiful.
Making subtle gestures,
he asks for me.
To take me along with him,
he tries his best.
Inside the nest of my soul,
he set a wild forest fire.
Like music,
his voice sounds in my ears.
Like magic glue,
he intertwines his hand with mine.
Searching deep inside me,
gathering the honey of my life,
he stores it away.
Stealing this girl away,
he makes her beautiful.
Desire, oh desire, desire,
a longing for his mustache.
Without pricking, it shades like an umbrella,
its touch makes me shiver with delight.
The sound of the kisses he showers,
pours down like endless rain.
In the pond of my heart,
he dissolved a rainbow.
Upon my shore,
he crashed like a wave.
Thoughts of him torment me,
even my breath smells of that charming giant.
Like music,
his voice sounds in my ears.
Like magic glue,
he intertwines his hand with mine... mm... mm...
Searching deep inside me,
gathering the honey of my life,
he stores it away.
Stealing this girl away,
he makes her beautiful.
If we walk together as a pair,
ten million eyes will stare at us.
To dream of that day,
he made me yearn... aah...
To look at my reflection every day,
with his memory clinging like a shadow,
to hold up a mirror,
he made me... aah...
Singing a lullaby,
he stole my sleep away.
Putting me in order,
he scattered me apart.
Thoughts of him torment me,
even my breath... mmm... mmm...
Na nana na na...
Na nana... na na...
Na nana na na... mmm...
Na nana na na...
