Oh my life, my precious life,
I will always be there for you.
Even if the entire world comes against you,
I will stand and fight for you.
Why is there sadness in your eyes?
I will protect you with my love.
My darling, from the wind that touches you,
I will even build a shield against the breeze.
Crossing a thousand obstacles,
I will keep you safe all by myself.
Oh my life, my precious life,
I will always be there for you.
Even if the entire world comes against you,
I will stand and fight for you.
Oh oh oh...
I looked at you and admired your beauty,
I held you close within my gaze,
By your side alone,
I will stay for all my days.
Oh oh...
I will stand by you as a friend,
I will give you my shoulder to lean on,
With you alone,
I will walk this journey forever.
Even if the sky itself collapses,
My love will hold it up like a pillar.
What if an earthquake strikes?
I will protect you gently like a flower.
Oh my life, my precious life,
I will always be there for you.
Even if the entire world comes against you,
I will stand and fight for you.
