Who is this man who
broke my silence?
Who is this man who, within me,
sowed love?
Who is this man, and what else
will he do to me?
I struggled without understanding.
Hey hey hey hey hey hey…
Love at first sight,
I gathered in the cage of my heart.
Enduring its heavy weight,
I spent days that barely moved.
Only when I see you,
do I feel the need for life.
Only when I part from you,
do I say memories alone are enough... yee enn
Who is he, who is he?
He came during the day,
and upon my eyelids,
he touched me like a peacock feather and left.
Who is he, who is he?
He came in the night,
and within my eyes,
he planted dreams and left.
Who is this man who
broke my silence?
Who is this man who, within me,
sowed love?
Who is this man, and what else
will he do to me?
I struggled without understanding.
...
Secretly touching me,
he leaves me intoxicated.
On the pretext of stumbling,
he bumps into me and walks away.
All kinds of improper tales,
he tells me mischievously.
"Did she enjoy it or did she glare?"
Looking at me with that thought, he walks away.
Oh girl wearing a false disguise,
shatter your mask!
Before this night dissolves,
fall into my hands!
Who is this man who
broke my silence?
Who is this man who, within me,
sowed love?
Who is this man, and what else
will he do to me?
I struggled without understanding.
...
I rise like a wave,
whenever he looks at me.
I fall like a leaf,
into endless depths.
I smiled gently,
at my mirror reflection.
I acted just like him,
and in the kiss I placed on it...
Hey, even the reflection
would shatter, oh girl,
in the intensity of your kiss!
My heart didn't believe until now,
that you too are in a trance of love!
...
Ooo love at first sight,
I gathered in the cage of my heart.
Enduring its heavy weight,
I spent days that barely moved.
Only when I see you,
do I feel the need for life.
Only when I part from you,
do I say memories alone are enough... ooooo
Aaaa... aaa...
