Even like shadows,
we stayed inseparable.
Whatever sorrow
came our way, we forgot it.
Unable to ever part
from each other, we struggled,
unable to bear the pain,
unable to forget...
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh ooh-ooh-ooh...
I saw you right in front of me,
and girl, I became one with you.
Hey friend, come on, friend!
Hey friend, come on, friend!
Hey friend, come on, friend!
To roam around town with me!
Hey friend, come on, friend!
Hey friend, come on, friend!
Hey friend, come on, friend!
Male: Hey friend, come on, friend!
To roam around town with me!
Hey friend, come on, friend, oh-ho-oh!
Waking up every morning,
I forgot my morning routine,
I even forgot to take a bath,
and rushed right to your side!
Female: My life slips away,
it steals my breath away!
Oh ho hoo
Oh hoo hoo
My friend, I have one desire—shall we celebrate?
Because of us, the sky changes its colors,
seeing our friendship,
seeing our bond!
Oh ho hoo
Oh hoo hoo
My friend, I have one desire—shall we celebrate?
Because of us, the sky changes its colors,
seeing our friendship,
seeing our bond!
The moment our eyes met again,
we felt like we were soaring into outer space!
Leaving time's footprints behind,
we saw a grand procession moving along!
Even along the path we walked,
we watched the hours
melt away!
Before time runs out,
we came together
to cross every great distance!
I made, yes I made,
I made a plan!
Let's celebrate weddings and concerts together!
From now on, life will shine like gold!
Our journeys are filled with joy from now on... yeah!
Even as the days go by,
we will always walk side by side.
There is no separation for us.
The path may be far,
the journey may be long,
yet we will go anywhere together!
One, two, three, four!
Waking up every morning,
