Don't walk away and leave me,
My darling, right before your eyes,
Leaving my soul in deep agony,
Leaving me behind.
Don't walk away and leave me,
My darling, right before your eyes,
Leaving my soul in deep agony,
Leaving me behind.
Like a tree
burning away as firewood,
I have turned to cinder because of you, girl.
What the pain of the soul truly is,
I have come to realize,
Only because of you, my girl.
Don't walk away and leave me,
My darling, right before your eyes,
Leaving my soul in deep agony,
Leaving me behind.
For the first time, like making a mistake,
Why have I completely changed?
Compared to you, in this world,
Everything else feels meaningless.
Making me wait until time runs out,
You walk away and leave.
After giving me so much longing,
Why do you push me away?
Female: Without killing me outright,
Don't torture me to death.
Don't walk away and leave me,
My darling, right before your eyes,
Leaving my soul in deep agony,
Leaving me behind.
Mmm.. mmm… mmmm..
Mmm… mmm… mmm…
Mmm… mmm… mmm…
Mmm… mmm… mmm…
You shake me, you unravel me,
Every single day when I look at you,
You bury yourself deep inside me,
Without asking any question.
My desires grow as vast as the sky,
If only I am united with you.
My life will turn into a rainbow,
If I get to live with you.
Male: Girl, without you,
This lifetime will never be complete.
Don't walk away and leave me,
My darling, right before your eyes,
Leaving my soul in deep agony,
Leaving me behind.
