Mmm... moments of joy,
Mmm... listen to the music!
Look, the clouds are showering flowers, oh...
Mmm... what endless delights!
Mmm... hearts blooming like flowers,
These are times when happiness drips like honey, hey...
Mmm... moments of joy,
Mmm... listen to the music!
It is the hour when tender flowers warm themselves from the cold,
Look at this playful charm, oh...
The deep passion I feel for you
Is like the endless thirst of waves rushing to the shore.
Isn't this a bond where soul joins with soul?
Isn't this a dream that stays even when our eyes are open?
Mmm... what endless delights!
Mmm... hearts blooming like flowers,
I fell in love with a sweet, lovely girl,
And gave a soft glance to the corner of her eye, ha... ah...
Following her footsteps, I walked alongside her,
Even her tiny drops of sweat taste like sweet honey.
Under her gaze, the cluster of flowers blossomed to life,
And under his gaze, her body softened like pure milk.
Mmm... moments of joy,
Male: La la la la
Female: Mmm... listen to the music!
