Pouring down drop by drop,
like raindrops,
my heart, my heart,
you have drenched.
With your look, in your gaze,
a chemical change
you have brought about.
Shining brightly,
like flashing lightning,
my most secret places
you have admired.
And what you admired, oh what you admired,
without my permission,
you have tasted.
If you are a flower,
I will come like a gentle breeze.
If you are the moon,
I will be your sky.
Pouring down drop by drop,
like raindrops,
my heart, my heart,
you have drenched.
With your look, in your gaze,
a chemical change
you have brought about.
All over the earth,
inside the blooming flowers,
I will keep myself locked away.
Inside the flowers,
if you lock yourself in,
I will open them like the wind.
Living inside the clouds
just like a drizzle,
I too am that cloud,
and I live inside it.
Coming like a sudden rush of wind,
I too will
kiss you again and again
before I go.
Searching for each other
again and again,
in this rain of joy,
getting drenched together...
Pouring down drop by drop,
like raindrops,
my heart, my heart,
you have drenched.
With your look, in your gaze,
a chemical change
you have brought about.
In the blue sky,
for you to live in,
shall I build you a home?
In the blue sky,
if my feet walk,
the stars will prick me, my love.
With intoxication in the corner of your eye,
you look at me.
Your upper lip and lower lip,
you gently move.
A flower garden, a flower garden,
you pluck and carry away.
Womankind, womankind,
you truly adore.
Dreams keep coming,
dreams keep coming,
my love, to embrace you,
to hold you close...
Pouring down drop by drop,
like raindrops,
my heart, my heart,
you have drenched.
With your look, in your gaze,
a chemical change
you have brought about.
