One moment a lovers' quarrel
The next moment coming together
Blending both of these
I am an epic story... ah...
To write a love story
Come, my darling
In this tender evening time
Beside the setting sun
As a sweet sigh rises within
Chorus: Ah ha ha
Modesty takes its leave
A drama is unfolding
Chorus: Ah ha ha
The dress slips away...
The slip beneath shows through...
Male: Trying to cover it up...
The restless heart falters and trembles
From beginning to end, oh my...
A thousand flashes of lightning!
Male: Aaaah... aaaah...
From beginning to end, oh my...
A thousand flashes of lightning!
Love on one side
Male: Love on one side

Writing a story through the eyes
This is a gentle evening time
Writing a story through the eyes
This is a gentle evening time
Male: Embracing, slipping away... mmm...
Male: Slipping away, embracing... mmm...
Male: Writing a story... mmm...
Matched perfectly by the stars
A couple came together, my girl
Bumping heads is our regular habit
And making up right after is our way
Every day we can quarrel and tease
Ah ah ah, and every day we can embrace
Shall we live this delightfully strange life
Never tiring of our childish ways?
Ah ah ah...
With every day filled with battles and kisses
Let life go on like this forever...
Writing a story through the eyes
This is a gentle evening time
Embracing, slipping away
Female: Embracing, slipping away...
Male: Slipping away, embracing
Female: Slipping away, embracing
Male: Hoy... hoyyy
Tha tha, embracing, slipping away, hoy hoy

Slipping away and embracing
Writing a story, hoy...

This is a gentle evening time
Writing a story through the eyes
This is a gentle evening time
