Hey butterfly, little butterfly,
It is blushing and smiling!
This thick, manly mustache
Reaches out and pulls me into a hug!
All the desires kept hidden inside
Are catching fire and blazing bright!
The storm called love, right now,
Is blowing the roof right off!
Hey hey hey hey!
My breath stops,
My words falter,
My heart is captivated by you!
Desires entwine,
It eats away at my soul,
You are doing something strange to me!
You gave me a fresh new start,
You soaked my heart in dreams,
With your beauty, you cooled my heart down,
Chorus: Oh my, oh my, oh my!
You pointed a finger and made me simmer with heat,
You made me die a sweet death,
You made me lose control of myself,
Chorus: Oh my, oh my, oh my!
My darling, my gold, what just happened?
Seeing you made my heart overflow with joy!
Female: My darling, my gold, what just happened?
Suddenly, my entire life turned colorful!
That you were searching for a house to rent,
I heard that news around town,
Oh yes, I heard it!
A little cradle inside a flower,
I emptied it out for you to live in,
Oh yes, I made it ready!
You came like flowing water,
You came like a gentle drizzle,
You came in person and changed everything!
I leaped with joy without stopping!
The weight of a flower,
And the weight of the breeze,
Added together make your weight!
The crowd will gather together
And put a finger to their nose in wonder!
My darling, my gold, what just happened?
Seeing you made my heart overflow with joy!
Female: My darling, my gold, what just happened?
Suddenly, my entire life turned colorful!
Written in your handwriting,
With a small bindi dot placed on it,
I saw a rainbow on that piece of paper!
I blossomed!
Everywhere your feet walked,
All along the path,
I gathered the soil and strung it like flowers,
And poured my life into it!
Love is...
Female: Love is...
Male: An intoxicating river!
Female: An intoxicating river!
Male: You do not even need to dive in,
Just looking at it will sweep you off your feet!
Love is...
Male: Love is...
Female: A long conspiracy!
Male: A long conspiracy!
Female: It brings sorrow, it brings joy,
Half water and half fire,
Coming together to test us!
My darling, my gold, what just happened?
Seeing you made my heart overflow with joy!
Female: My darling, my gold, what just happened?
Suddenly, my entire life turned colorful!
