Youth calls out, 'Come, come!'
It asks, 'What is holding you back now?'
Between you and me,
A dividing wall is rising today.
Youth calls out, 'Come, come!'
It asks, 'What is holding you back now?'
Between you and me,
A dividing wall is rising today.
Moon of love, oh moon of love,
We don't need your light, please go away.
Closing my eyes in a dream,
This is the time for me to be with her.
Youth calls out, 'Come, come!'
It asks, 'What is holding you back now?'
Between you and me,
A dividing wall is rising today.
From head to toe,
You are a mystery.
After coming of age,
Everything has become a wonder.
Oh, only the sweet scent of a flower on you
Was all I knew until these days.
Now that it turns into the fragrance of a woman,
I have taken it in as my very breath.
Aaha... Male: Aaha...
Female: Why am I blushing for the very first time?
Youth calls out, 'Come, come!'
It asks, 'What is holding you back now?'
Between you and me,
A dividing wall is rising today.
Aaa... aa... aa...
Sleeping upon the leaves,
I gather the morning dew drops
On the tips of my fingers,
And drop them gently onto your lips.
Even seeing you bare,
Felt so ordinary until yesterday.
The softness of your calf,
Ignites a fire in me today.
Whenever your eyes look into mine,
A thrilling shiver runs through my nerves.
Youth calls out, 'Come, come!'
It asks, 'What is holding you back now?'
Female: Between you and me,
A dividing wall is rising today.
Moon of love, oh moon of love,
We don't need your light, please go away.
Closing my eyes in a dream,
This is the time for me to be with her.
Youth calls out, 'Come, come!'
It asks, 'What is holding you back now?'
Between you and me,
A dividing wall is rising today.
