English Translation
Sleepiness often surrounds me
Even my diary entries look sloppy
Recording your smile
There’s a taste of soda in the air
Sometimes we chat when we meet
Sunset, beach, island
And the splendid beauty of fireworks
I get drunk in your embrace
Piano notes are singing
Mozart’s words of love
I follow the strings
Writing about you and midsummer
Moonlight, snowflakes
Falling, forming a painting
Gently touching your hair
Blushing the evening clouds
I’m falling in love love love love love
Oh, you’ll be mine mine mine mine mine
Who’s guessing the end of the story
Dim light outside the window
A beam wakes me up (with my longing for you)
I breathe in the scent
At the ends of your hair
A reluctant soft kiss
First time feeling it
My fascination fills the void
Drawing me closer to the deep sea with no shore
Like an unknown, intoxicating surprise
Why are my memories blank
I forgot you ever existed
Waiting for white flowers to bloom after the rainy season
Piano notes are singing
Mozart’s words of love
I follow the strings
Writing about you and midsummer
Moonlight, snowflakes
Falling, forming a painting
Gently touching your hair
Blushing the evening clouds
I’m falling in love love love love love
Oh, you’ll be mine mine mine mine mine
Who’s asking about the end of this story
Withered petals
Waiting for the next rain to come
