In my life,
I have only one wish:
I always want to keep looking at you.
Is it you, or your eyes?
But what makes me even happier
is watching you
while you search for me.
Your two eyes
search for my face,
and with every second,
my soul shifts its place.
It shifts, it changes...
Your two eyes
search for my face,
and with every second,
my soul shifts its place.
In the falling rain,
near the edge of my forehead,
your breath touches me,
and my body freezes still.
Touched by the moisture of your breath,
even the rain gets drenched.
A single drop sinks
deep into my soul;
from now on, I will burn away my shyness.
Like the rain falling
over the ocean waves,
I will wander around having seen you.
Ah, a single drop sinks
deep into my soul;
from now on, I will burn away my shyness.
Like the rain falling
over the ocean waves,
I will wander around having seen you.
Ah... like a butterfly
resting on a thorn,
you are in my life.
Without you, would I ever think
of any other girl in my heart?
Sunshine and rain
scatter together.
When I hold you close,
no mistakes need correcting,
when our love is woven together...
With your eyes closed,
the moment your lips search for mine,
in that very moment,
ah, the tender feelings inside me
melt away just like wax.
I melted away,
my soul dissolves,
and I wandered like fire.
Aahh... aahh... aa...
Like an umbrella of shade,
why does a heart here
gather drops of sunlight?
The longing slipping between two fingers,
why does it now
echo inside the heart?
Aahh... aahh... aahh...
Like an umbrella of shade,
why does a heart here
gather drops of sunlight?
The longing slipping between two fingers,
why does it now
echo inside the heart?
