{ I am a modern man,
who understands this world,
who recognizes true beauty,
gives away his heart,
and lives in love } (2)
We can dance, we can sing,
we can all join together,
and make our lives a blooming garden!
{ With time favoring us,
as everyone here forms bonds of friendship, } (2)
through those bonds,
we can measure
the true worth of humanity!
We can float away in music,
we can forget everything else!
We can float away in music,
we can forget everything else!

{ I saw a living statue,
and I saw it smile!
"What beauty, what wondrous beauty!"
saying so, I stood enchanted } (2)
There is one moon in the sky,
and two moons right in front of me!
Let the sweet nectar of love shower down!
Ah, an admirer!
Ah, an admirer, a true
admirer, a wonderful admirer,
your admirer, your devoted fan!
