{Woh… woh woh

I am a firefly
I am the lightning too
I am the rain... I am the cloud
I am a dewdrop
I am the flowers
I am a butterfly
Who am I, who am I?
Won't you understand if I tell you?
I will enter your soul like a breeze
I will give you music
{Woh... woh woh
Woho woho... woh woh} (2)
Above the spinning earth,
I am the restless wanderer roaming around
I will stroll across the moonlight everywhere
In my life, there is
never a full stop
I will fly everywhere
I will spread my wings wide
Oh, a child and a young woman
combined together,
that answer is my age
Oh, the breeze and a flower
blended together,
that lightness is my heart
If you say my name,
you will know who I am
I am the one who weaves magic,
Maya...
{Woh... woh woh
Woho woho... woh woh} (2)
Above the spinning earth,
I am the restless wanderer roaming around
I will stroll across the moonlight everywhere
In my life, there is
never a full stop
I will fly everywhere
I will spread my wings wide
Looking at the way I walk, the way I dress,
and looking at this and that,
the corners of their eyes turn dizzy
Like collapsing
before a mighty army,
their heart trembles
If I ever walk
down the street,
the whole street meets with an accident
All that every man's heart
longs for
is a girl... just... like me...
{Woh... woh woh
Woho woho... woh woh} (2)
Above the spinning earth,
I am the restless wanderer roaming around
I will stroll across the moonlight everywhere
In my life, there is
never a full stop
I will fly everywhere
I will spread my wings wide
Checking left, right, or direction—
looking at that,
does a cloud ever pour rain?
Checking time, place, and rules—
asking for that,
does a sweet song ever arrive?
In the path of youth,
what barrier is there?
Step forward boldly, my heart!
Like a river
without any dam,
come, let's keep walking!
{Woh... woh woh
Woho woho... woh woh} (2)
Above the spinning earth,
I am the restless wanderer roaming around
I will stroll across the moonlight everywhere
In my life, there is
never a full stop
I will fly everywhere
I will spread my wings wide
Oh, a child and a young woman
combined together,
that answer is my age
Oh, the breeze and a flower
blended together,
that lightness is my heart
If you say my name,
you will know who I am
I am the one who weaves magic,
Maya...
{Woh... woh woh
Woho woho... woh woh} (4)
