With screwpine flowers adorning
your lovely hair,
you must come to hold me in your arms.
You must, you must...
We must live a good life,
our hearts must blossom,
and joy must come seeking our doorstep.
With screwpine flowers adorning
your lovely hair,
you must come to hold me in your arms.
You must, you must...
We must live a good life...
Our hearts must blossom...
Never tired of gazing,
never satisfied even after tasting,
I want to become a bee.
Even when you come as a bee
and drink endlessly without satisfaction,
I want to become a bouquet of flowers.
Never tired of gazing,
never satisfied even after tasting,
I want to become a bee.
Even when you come as a bee
and drink endlessly without satisfaction,
I want to become a bouquet of flowers.
When the bee dances around the flowers,
won't a whole new spark of love awaken in our eyes?
We must live a good life,
our hearts must blossom,
and joy must come seeking our doorstep.
With screwpine flowers adorning
your lovely hair,
you must come to hold me in your arms.
You must, you must...
We must live a good life...
Our hearts must blossom...
All that the people of this town describe
as milk and honey,
we must discover and know for ourselves.
Without any feeling that you are one person
and I am another,
the two of us must become one.
All that the people of this town describe
as milk and honey,
we must discover and know for ourselves.
Without any feeling that you are one person
and I am another,
the two of us must become one.
Once we have become one, what questions remain?
Do we ever need to ask the world anymore?
We must live a good life,
our hearts must blossom,
and joy must come seeking our doorstep.
With screwpine flowers adorning
your lovely hair,
you must come to hold me in your arms.
You must, you must...
We must live a good life...
Our hearts must blossom...
