This love is enough for us now
Everything will fall into place from now on
A rented little nest...
A whole sky of our own
What else do we need, my dear?
If we open the window,
the gentle breeze fans us...
If the moon is in the sky,
the light will only grow
And if you are by my side,
this very home is heaven
Leaving our town to come here,
we are going to take root in a new soil
We are going to take root
Our times will change from now on
We don't have a single coin in our hands
Away from our town, we have no family
This love is enough
We need nothing else... mmm
A heart where wishes blossom every day
A blooming garden that grants all we ask for
Like a graceful crane,
you spread your wings in the sky
Gently, you held and captured my heart
Oh, my sky...
As a light drizzle keeps sprinkling,
reaching my heart every day,
come inside and get caught,
for my heart is a dead-end street!
Like a bee trapped inside honey,
I am caught inside your heart,
with no desire to ever leave...
Is it just a house? No, it is a loving home
What boundary is there to this joy...
Like a flower vase,
you brought me into this house
and with only your love as water,
you poured it on me...
To make it bloom... ah...
Planting a sapling of kisses,
and telling it to bloom all at once,
giving an order like that
is truly not fair!
A rented little nest...
A whole sky of our own
What else do we need, my dear?
If we open the window,
the gentle breeze fans us...
If the moon is in the sky,
the light will only grow
And if you are by my side,
this very home is heaven
Leaving our town to come here,
we are going to take root in a new soil
We are going to take root
Our times will change from now on
We don't have a single coin in our hands
Away from our town, we have no family
This love is enough
We need nothing else... mmm
This love is enough for us now
Everything will fall into place from now on
