Oh-ooh-oh... ooh... hooh... oooh... ooh...
Oh-ooh-oh... ooh... hooh... oooh... ooh...
Why, my girl, do you
fill my heart with longing,
and without you,
push me to the point of dying?
Why... did a moon
leave my sky and disappear?
Why did you shatter
this fragile life into pieces and walk away?
I suffered in agony without seeing you,
burning intensely and bursting from within!
I writhed with a fire in my chest,
holding onto life just to see you!
Oh-ooh-oh... ooh... hooh... oooh... ooh...
Oh-ooh-oh... ooh... hooh... oooh... ooh...
Oh-ooh-oh... ooh... hooh... oooh... ooh...
Oh-ooh-oh... ooh... hooh... oooh... ooh...
Why, my girl, do you
fill my heart with longing,
and without you,
push me to the point of dying?
Thara ra rara ra... mm...
Thara ra rara ra... haa... aa... aaa...
Thara ra thara ra thara ra... ra...
More and more,
my life searches for you,
wandering like restless waves,
longing only for you!
Rain drizzles in the corner of my heart
whenever you drift far away.
Rain drizzles in the corner of my heart
whenever you drift far away.
Why, my girl, do you
fill my heart with longing,
and without you,
push me to the point of dying?
Why, my girl, do you
fill my heart with longing,
and without you,
push me to the point of dying?
