Deep within my soul,
A new river springs forth.
In this bond of ours,
A new branch sprouts.
The time of night,
Just because you arrived,
Has transformed into a day
Bright as pure milk.
And somehow,
Just because you looked at me,
My whole world here
Has become a garden of flowers.
Without even chasing you,
I will always follow you.
Even as things move on, what can ever compare?
Though the sky and the earth never meet,
They are never truly parted.
Without saying a word, I froze in wonder.
Without fading away, I melted into you.
I came willingly as a hostage,
And now I am your prisoner...
Oh, the single word
Spoken by my heart
Has become my whole life today.
My love,
It is your affection
That springs like a fresh fountain in my heart today.
Even before this,
It was your arms
That rested on my shoulders like a garland of flowers.
In dreams of fireflies,
With the arrival of lightning,
Under the glowing moonlight,
To fall asleep on your lap,
In this rain of love,
In sweet, playful charm,
Filled with all these joys,
To be right beside you...
You were born just to unite with me,
And as my living present,
You shone with all your grace.
Hoo... hoo...
Oh, the single word
Spoken by my heart
Has become my whole life today.
My love,
It is your affection
That springs like a fresh fountain in my heart today.
Even before this,
It was your arms
That rested on my shoulders like a garland of flowers.
