[English]

When I am with you

Something magical happens

I keep smiling for no reason

Though there is nothing going on

A spell is cast upon me

I could stay up all night without feeling sleepy

All other thoughts go away

And my heart beats louder

Suddenly love feels so easy

So I fall deeper and deeper for you

That's what you do to me

I am Alcohol free but I get drunk

Though I did not drink at all

It happens whenever I'm with you

Because of the way you look at me

You are my champagne, my wine I drink with my eyes

My tequila, margarita

Mojito with lime

Sweet mimosa, pina colada

I'm drunk in you

I'm drunk in you

You are so special

Although not hard at all

You make the stars come out in broad daylight

With just one sip

A spell is cast upon me

I could stay up all night without feeling sleepy

All other thoughts go away

And my heart beats louder

Suddenly love feels so easy

So I fall deeper and deeper for you

That's what you do to me

I am Alcohol free but I get drunk

Though I did not drink at all

It happens whenever I'm with you

Because of the way you look at me

Alcohol percentage is completely 0.0%

But I get lost whenever I drink

It doesn't wear off even after sleep

But I actually quite like this feeling

Easy to the mouth and tummy

Like a drink made of honey

What's the name of this drink, anyway?

Makes the whole world bright and sunny

I am Alcohol free but I get drunk

Though I did not drink at all

It happens whenever I'm with you

Because of the way you look at me

You are my champagne, my wine I drink with my eyes

My tequila, margarita

Mojito with lime

Sweet mimosa, pina colada

I'm drunk in you

I'm drunk in you
