She arrived like a grand temple chariot,
And I stood still like a stone statue.
She arrived like a grand temple chariot,
And I stood still like a stone statue.
To these proud eyes of mine,
You are the ultimate intoxication.
With just that one look from you,
My heart leaps and dances with wild joy, girl!
To these proud eyes of mine,
You are the ultimate intoxication.
With just that one look from you,
My heart leaps and dances with wild joy, girl!
Hey, coming outside and smiling at me,
You cling right onto my soul.
I used to roam around full of swagger,
Yet you tied up my heart and bent my youth to your will.
She arrived like a grand temple chariot,
And I stood still like a stone statue.
She arrived like a grand temple chariot,
And I stood still like a stone statue.
To these proud eyes of mine,
You are the ultimate intoxication.
With just that one look from you,
My heart leaps and dances with wild joy, girl!
To these proud eyes of mine,
You are the ultimate intoxication.
With just that one look from you,
My heart leaps and dances with wild joy, girl!
Hey, coming outside and smiling at me,
You cling right onto my soul.
I used to roam around full of swagger,
Yet you tied up my heart and bent my youth to your will.
Oh graceful swan, my lovely swan,
Lost in your beauty, I forgot everything else.
The moment you looked and gave that smile,
I moved right into a world of colorful dreams.
For some reason, thoughts of you arrive
And eat away at my life, piece by piece.
Every single day, some memory comes
And flashes in my eyes every passing second.
Like a spark caught in the wind,
You caught hold of me and consumed me completely.
Overflowing with endless beauty,
You burned like a fire inside my chest.
Oh wild flame, you tore through my veins,
And I etched you into my very soul.
She arrived like a grand temple chariot,
And I stood still like a stone statue.
She arrived like a grand temple chariot,
And I stood still like a stone statue.
To these proud eyes of mine,
You are the ultimate intoxication.
With just that one look from you,
My heart leaps and dances with wild joy, girl!
Hey, coming outside and smiling at me,
You cling right onto my soul.
I used to roam around full of swagger,
Yet you tied up my heart and bent my youth to your will.
