You touched me, you touched me,
You went and touched me!
My heart got trapped with you!
You shot me, you shot me, you shot me with your eyes!
Because of you, my youth caught fire!
Hey... you touched me, you touched me,
You went and touched me!
My heart got trapped with you!
You shot me, you shot me, you shot me with your eyes!
Because of you, my youth caught fire!
Oh no, I cannot bear it!
Both my eyes refuse to sleep!
When asked to say my name,
I keep repeating your name,
And turned into a thirst-crazed ghost!
She is trapped with you,
This young girl!
Torment me however you like,
Just as your heart desires!
Hey, I touched you, I touched you,
I touched you without realizing!
Having touched you, I burned my palm!
I got grazed, I got struck,
I got struck without knowing!
Just from a gentle brush,
I have lost all control!
You arrived like one in a thousand,
And made me your captive girl!
I surrendered my love and honor,
Yet you stole my heart and ran away!
Keep it, just keep it!
Keep your life to yourself!
Hey, stitch it, stitch it up!
Just stitch your mouth shut!
Even if you go to Mars
And live there, I will come there
And press my lips against yours!
She is trapped with you,
This young girl!
Torment me however you like,
Just as your heart desires!
You understand when weapons speak,
Do you not understand a pretty girl's words?
You wage violence all over town,
Will you not do the same to my body?
Hey, stay away, stay away!
This is a fortress of steel, stay away!
Oh dear, oh dear!
Has my lifeline been ruined?
Whether it is paper,
Or whether it is gunpowder,
Will it not burn in a young girl's fire?
She got trapped with me,
This young girl!
She has gone crazy,
All in the name of love!
Hey... you touched me, you touched me,
You went and touched me!
My heart got trapped with you!
