What all, what all,
what all and whatever,
what all, what all,
what all will you give me?
Oh, my little world,
I am asking you,
what all and whatever,
what all will you shower upon me?
Into the scattered crimson of the sky,
I am taking off!
To shape my own life,
now that a chance has come,
leaving my nest behind a little,
to fly high into the sky!
With wings newly sprouted,
like a green parrot,
from now on, I am
the voice of the wind!
It's me, it's me!
Female: Someone completely different,
Chorus: It's me, it's me!
Female: a brand-new woman inside her!
It's me, it's me!
Female: Someone completely different,
Chorus: It's me, it's me!
Female: another new self from now on!
Blending into the breeze as one,
I will slip right in.
Even if you keep it locked tight,
I will open it up.
Without even seeing you,
I will charm you.
Standing far away,
I will guide your heart.
Two songs play
in my eyes;
your heart belongs to me now.
All the secrets
that you kept locked away
are mine from now on!
As you walk down the road,
into your ears, I will enter,
as a radio voice, sweet as honey,
rustling softly like a stream,
warm like falling rain!
What all, what all,
what all will you give me?
Oh, my little world,
I am asking you,
what all and whatever,
what all will you shower upon me?
Into the scattered crimson of the sky,
I am taking off!
To shape my own life,
now that a chance has come,
leaving my nest behind a little,
to fly high into the sky!
With wings newly sprouted,
like a green parrot,
from now on, I am
the voice of the wind!
It's me, it's me!
