Your breath,
As it falls upon me,
As a fire burns deep inside my heart,
My love, I fell for you,
I lost myself in you.
Your gaze,
As it falls on me,
As my days dawn just for you,
I was born again,
I forgot myself.
Rumbling and clattering,
Rushing along fast,
A train in my heart
Is speeding by.
A volcano and a mountain of snow—
Right between the two,
You make me stand today.
Summer in my eyes,
Monsoon in my heart,
You showered it all upon me, my life.
Oh... your breath,
As it falls upon me,
As a fire burns deep inside my heart,
My love, I fell for you,
I lost myself in you.
Yo baby, listen,
Just you coming is enough,
All my troubles
Will turn into joy.
Drifting further and further,
Don't leave me and go.
If you give me a kiss,
You won't lose a thing.
Keep it in your heart,
You are a fighter,
Oh... hoo,
Boy, anytime,
I am your darling pet.
Oh... hoo,
For my heart to beat,
You became my breath.
Yeah... come on...
Because of you, I struggled,
Oh, I stumbled and swayed,
Girl, I fought hard,
Yet I celebrated it all.
A playful child and a young woman,
Wondering if you are both combined,
My heart looks at you
And adores you.
Blushing red in anger,
When I look at your cheeks,
To play mischievous pranks on you,
I love doing it.
Even with the clues so clear,
Even with witnesses around,
Where are you taking me away?
Summer in my eyes,
Monsoon in my heart,
You showered it all upon me, my life.
Oh... your breath,
As it falls upon me,
As a fire burns deep inside my heart,
My love, I fell for you,
I lost myself in you.
Aah... aah-aah... aah-aah-aah
Aah... aah-aah... aah-aah-aah
Aah... aah-aah-aah-aah-aah... aah-aah-aah...
Girl, the thought of you
Is like a floral fragrance in the breeze.
I placed myself in your hands;
If you accept me, hold me close.
Every single day in my dreams,
Just so you will appear,
I close my eyes
And fall asleep.
Inside my heart for you,
To build a palace,
Stones from the moon
I am buying.
There is no wick, there is no flame,
Yet with a flashing smile
In your gaze, you ignite a fire.
Summer in my eyes,
Monsoon in my heart,
You showered it all upon me, my life.
Your breath,
As it falls upon me,
As a fire burns deep inside my heart,
My love, I fell for you,
I lost myself in you.
Your gaze,
As it falls on me,
As my days dawn just for you,
I was born again,
I forgot myself...
Ennn... ehhnnnnn... eehnnn...
