Just to see you,
I closed my eyes,
seeking you through my dreams.
When you are with me,
is spying on us
the moon's only job?
Isn't this
the very first day,
the festive day
of our young love?
Isn't this
the very first day,
the festive day
of our young love?
O moon, today,
leave your sky and
go far away!
Even the blinking lightning,
"Not today,"
is what this moment says.
Across my body,
clouds drift and wander.
Blushing with shyness,
the sky changes its color.
The stars come down
to dwell inside our home.
Even the flowers in my hair
tease me!
O moon, today,
leave your sky and
go far away!
Even the blinking lightning,
"Not today,"
is what this moment says.
In a new sound,
your silhouette speaks.
Why is that? Why?
Playfully,
the figurine watches.
Why is that? Why?
At the corner of the lips,
the droplet of sweat that beads up—
what if I wipe it away?
The barrier between us,
this blanket, gently—
what if we cast it aside?
I melted like wax,
I froze deep within my soul.
Just for us, the soft evening
and the dark night are arriving.
Very slowly,
the wax candle
melts and melts.
Just like dry leaves,
the hours of the night
fall and fade away.
To share our love
and quench our longing,
where is the time?
If I close my eyes,
the night will slip away.
Come, come, my love!
A gentle drizzle of rain
may fall
and overflow past every bound.
Shall we slowly get drenched,
get drenched until dawn?
O moon, today,
leave your sky and
go far away!
Even the blinking lightning,
"Not today,"
is what this moment says.
Across my body,
clouds drift and wander.
Blushing with shyness,
the sky changes its color.
The stars come down
to dwell inside our home.
Even the flowers in my hair
tease me!
