My darling, who plays a drama within my eyes,
My girl, are you still feeling shy?
My darling, who plays a drama within my eyes,
My girl, are you still feeling shy?
After our hearts became one, parting from me,
And forgetting our happiness, is that fair?
After our hearts became one, parting from me,
And forgetting our happiness, is that fair?
Separated from you,
I am wasting away longing for you—
Why did you forget this truth, my dear?

Forgetting all the troubles of the past,
We can enjoy endless happiness from now on.
