[Humming...]
Your innocence is beautiful,
your mischief is beautiful too.
Your crooked tooth is beautiful,
your shy glance is beautiful.
She stepped right into my heart,
she is my darling.
Your innocence is beautiful,
your mischief is beautiful too.
Your crooked tooth is beautiful,
your shy glance is beautiful...
She stepped right into my heart,
she is my darling.
Just by catching your side glance,
I lost my heart.
Within your playful, teasing words,
I found my love.
[Humming...!]
Did you come as a dream or as reality,
sprouting deep inside of me?
Male: Hey, this is love, true love,
I will carry you in my heart.
Living this life for you is all I need,
through you, I want to discover a new heaven.
Male: We should experience a joy never known before,
we should become clouds wandering in the sky...
My life, oh my soul, stay as my eternal bond,
may the sky and this earth become just the two of us from now on.
Male: My beautiful one, you are like the sea,
I will come like a wave to touch your gentle shore.
Is this sweet joy or is it pain?
Is this love a deep yearning?
Female: It is pure joy, truly sweet joy,
I have blended into your very soul.
Like a vine climbing a branch, I will wrap around you,
like sunlight searching for a leaf, I will follow you.
Female: We must live an endless life together,
without ever parting, we must rule over time...
Oh fire, my fire, will you melt me into water?
May everything good and bad be only you from now on.
Female: Oh wing, pure white wing, do not fly away from me,
if you leave, I will lose my life—that is the truth.
Your innocence is beautiful,
your mischief is beautiful too.
Your crooked tooth is beautiful,
your shy glance is beautiful.
She stepped right into my heart,
she is my darling...
Just by catching your side glance,
I lost my heart.
Within your playful, teasing words,
I found my love.
My life, oh my soul, stay as my eternal bond,
Male: I will come like a wave to touch you,
gently upon your shore....
