In my eyes, in my eyes,
who brought this brand-new enchantment?
When you come close to me,
who brought this brand-new hesitation?
These golden moments spent with you,
my heart longs for them to last forever...
In my eyes...
In my eyes, in my eyes,
who brought this brand-new enchantment?
When you come close to me,
who brought this brand-new hesitation?
These golden moments spent with you,
my heart longs for them to last forever...
In my eyes...
What kind of happiness is this among all joys?
What kind of happiness is this among all joys?
Even as I walk on the ground, my heart is flying.
What kind of sweet pain is this among all sorrows?
My youthful heart feels as if it is burning in fire.
I have never felt like this until now,
this trembling inside the chambers of my heart.
None of my dreams were ever like you,
and everything feels so wonderfully new to me too.
These golden moments spent with you,
my heart longs for them to last forever.
In my eyes...
What kind of kinship is this?
As a gift from God, our hearts have united.
Altogether, what kind of bond is this?
Our lips said nothing, yet we understood a little.
Is this a dream or is it real?
Whom should I ask for an answer?
Is this daytime or is it night?
The bright sunlight shines right beside the night.
In my eyes...
In my eyes, in my eyes,
who brought this brand-new enchantment?
When you come close to me,
who brought this brand-new hesitation?
These golden moments spent with you,
my heart longs for them to last forever...
In my eyes...
In my eyes, in my eyes,
who brought this brand-new enchantment?
In my eyes, in my eyes,
who brought this brand-new enchantment?
When you come close to me,
who brought this brand-new hesitation?
When you come close to me,
who brought this brand-new hesitation?
