The moon flapping its wings
held my hand.
Female: Upon seeing you,
I gave myself away.
Just for the two of us,
we need an earth.
Female: For our protection, we need
the deity called love.
The moon flapping its wings
held my hand.
Female: Upon seeing you,
I gave myself away.
Just for the two of us,
we need an earth.
Female: For our protection, we need
the deity called love.
........................
In every part of my house,
why did you leave your fragrance?
In every part of my house,
why did you leave your fragrance?
Sometimes, asking whose permission
did you enter inside me?
My feet, on their own,
follow behind you.
My heart, like a piece of cloth,
lies upon your path.
The jasmine that devoured
the sun is also you.
Female: The one who carried the white moon
on his shoulders is also you.
The moon flapping its wings
held my hand.
Female: Upon seeing you,
I gave myself away.
Just for the two of us,
we need an earth.
Female: For our protection, we need
the deity called love.
...........................
To soar beyond the sky, my heart
thinks now.
To soar beyond the sky, my heart
thinks now.
Even beautiful mistakes,
I like it when you make them.
Like an innocent child,
my heart leaps with joy.
Demanding various things,
it stubbornly asks.
Write a list,
and I shall give it to you myself.
Female: My entire requirement
is you alone.
The moon flapping its wings
held my hand.
Female: Upon seeing you,
I gave myself away.
Scattering smiles,
the golden jewel is also you.
Female: Admired by the world of women,
the most handsome man is you.
