Who are you, tell me, who are you?
Who are you, tell me, who are you?
I am yearning, longing for you,
Tell me, won't you tell me?
Giving me a love so deep,
You just walk away.
With just a single look,
You steal me and run away.
You make me talk to myself,
You make me search for you all around.
Who are you, tell me, who are you?
Who are you, tell me, who are you?
I am yearning, longing for you,
Tell me, won't you tell me?
Inside the cage of my heart,
You keep circling around.
With a sidelong glance,
You shower a gentle spray of rain.
On the path I walk,
You stand every single day.
Like an intoxication of love,
You take over my whole heart.
I longed to walk beside you,
Oh, you thief of my heart!
If I lean on your shoulder and walk,
I will fly in the sky, you rascal!
Who are you, tell me, who are you?
Who are you, tell me, who are you?
I am yearning, longing for you,
Tell me, won't you tell me?
All the time,
I keep thinking of you.
Like a lengthening shadow,
I walk along with you.
Floating on my eyelids,
I soar up high.
Just to hold your hand,
I keep waiting endlessly.
I read your name over and over,
And melted in love, oh my!
Singing it again and again,
I savored it with so much joy.
Who are you, tell me, who are you?
Who are you, tell me, who are you?
I am yearning, longing for you,
Tell me, won't you tell me?
Giving me a love so deep,
You just walk away.
With just a single look,
You steal me and run away.
You make me talk to myself,
You make me search for you all around.
Who are you, tell me, who are you?
Who are you, tell me, who are you?
I am yearning, longing for you,
Tell me, won't you tell me?

Beyond the translation

Overall song meaning
