Make way, make way, make way!
My goddess is coming!
Move aside, move aside, move aside!
She is coming searching for me!
Who dares to block the doorway?
Who dares to draw a curtain in between?
Who dares to place obstacles?
Who dares to stop the tender young moon?
There are no doors to the temple of my heart, no doors!
Make way, make way, make way!
My goddess is coming!
Make way, make way, make way!
My goddess is coming!
Move aside, move aside, move aside!
She is coming searching for me!
Who dares to block the doorway?
Who dares to draw a curtain in between?
Who dares to place obstacles?
Who dares to stop the tender young moon?
There are no doors to the temple of my heart, no doors!
Make way, make way, make way!
My goddess is coming!
Through her dewy, flower-like eyes,
this lovely girl will speak
unheard messages, oh... oh!
Yearning for her arrival every day,
are the dates on my calendar, oh... oh!
Only upon me, her love
she will shower like golden rain.
My heart itself, like a flower,
she will wear in her hair.
Every single day, she is worshiped,
the goddess whom I adore;
she lives inside my breath,
becoming one with my soul.
For me to join this beautiful chariot every day,
Make way, make way, make way!
My goddess is coming!
Move aside, move aside, move aside!
She is coming searching for me!
Who dares to block the doorway?
Who dares to draw a curtain in between?
Who dares to place obstacles?
Who dares to stop the tender young moon?
There are no doors to the temple of my heart, no doors!
Make way, make way, make way!
My goddess is coming!
Thinking "Poor soul, his mind is not well,"
she showers her deep affection, oh... oh!
Wounds that no doctor could ever cure,
she gently heals, oh... oh!
The selfless care of this flower-like girl
will be written in golden pages.
The whole world will praise her,
and sing like a sweet morning song!
If she does not visit for even a single day,
my eyes will find no sleep.
Leaving the heavens just for me to live,
this divine woman appears before me!
For me to see the flower swaying on her dress,
Make way, make way, make way!
My goddess is coming!
Move aside, move aside, move aside!
She is coming searching for me!
Who dares to block the doorway?
Who dares to draw a curtain in between?
Male: Who dares to place obstacles?
Who dares to stop the tender young moon?
Male: There are no doors to the temple of my heart, no doors!
Make way, make way, make way!
My goddess is coming!
Male: Move aside, move aside, move aside!
She is coming searching for me!
