My life, oh my life,
which direction are you going?
My dream, oh my dream,
you appeared without her.
Whatever happened within me,
I wrote in my dreams.
Believing that dreams were real,
I held onto them in my memories.
My life, oh my life,
which direction are you going?
It's gone, it's gone, buddy, it's gone!
So many bachelors' dreams are gone, buddy!
It's gone, it's gone, buddy, it's gone!
Our very breath is leaving with her, buddy!
Take a look just once, look at her,
for another chance to see her will not come.
Satisfy all your longing completely,
for it's no longer proper to talk or mingle.
It's gone, buddy, it's gone, it's gone... ah...
During our college days,
you leaned upon my shoulder;
I call that sweet comfort love.
You revolving around me,
and me revolving around you,
I call that coming together love.
Through your glances,
the longing you gave me,
I call its name love.
Through your words,
the passion I felt,
I call that love.
If your memory is my very breath,
I say it is the truth.
My life, oh my life,
My life, oh my life,
Ahahaha... aa... aa... aa... aa...
Hahahaha...
Sweet and tempting,
crowds of young men
push forward to have a taste,
with their eyes staring eagerly.
This is the time
when pollen gathers,
and many bees will buzz around.
Hey girl, over your glowing,
golden skin,
a drizzle of sandalwood settles.
Hey girl, if fruit-eating
birds see you,
they will peck at you, mistaking you for fruit.
Thanthana thanthana thaananananaa
Haa... aa... haa... aa...
All over my books,
are the marks of your kisses;
I keep them closed and protect them.
Everywhere in my room,
are scratches of your name;
I still worship them.
Touched by your fingers,
the papers kept with me,
I see you in those pages.
Even the flowers
that touched your hair,
I safely gather and keep.
My angel, you alone are the one
I say I have lost.
My life, oh my life,
which direction are you going?
My dream, oh my dream,
you appeared without her.
Whatever happened within me,
I wrote in my dreams.
Believing that dreams were real,
I held onto them in my memories.
Haa... aa... aa... aa... aa...
