After seeing you,
how can my eyes sleep, my love?
My love...
After looking up at the sky,
the earth blossomed here, my love.
My love...
After being watered,
the love that took root
should not wither away, my love.
Why did it wither even before spring arrived
and flowers could bloom?
After seeing you,
how can my eyes sleep, my love?
My love...
In the pouring rain,
if his beloved walks,
he will walk beside her like an umbrella.
If her feet hurt while walking,
he will carry her on his shoulders.
To wear in her beautiful hair,
even if she asks for the flower of his life,
"Take it, pluck it, my dearest soulmate,"
he will readily say.
Love
is just like God;
even when it is present within,
the mind is made to wonder about its limits.
After seeing you,
how can my eyes sleep, my love?
My love...
After looking up at the sky,
the earth blossomed here, my love.
My love...
After being watered,
the love that took root
should not wither away, my love.
Why did it wither even before spring arrived
and flowers could bloom?
After seeing you,
how can my eyes sleep, my love?
My love...
After looking up at the sky,
the earth blossomed here, my love.
My love...
