[English]

One smile

It was all I needed to see

Your hand

Touching the tip of your knee

여보세요

당신은 아름다운 귀를 소지하였어요

Excuse me

I don't understand what you say

나를 안아주세요

I can't understand what you say!

그리고 키스해 주세요

But I'm falling in love anyway

When you reach out and kiss me with Asian technique

My heart's beating fast and we suddenly speak

A magical language sent from above

We speak the language of love

HELLO?

HELLO?

YOU BEAUTIFUL GIRL

It's the language of love

MAN ALSO NICE

It's the language of love

I FEEL RAINBOW INSIDE

It's the language of love

LET'S MAKE BIG FAMILY

It's the language of love

Clear skies

It's a beautiful day at the zoo

We kiss

But my eyes cannot focus on you

Hello

You're the most beautiful thing I have seen

So come here

Do you want to go dancing with me?

I can't understand what you say!

Come with me, let's run away!

When a man loves a seal and the seal loves a man

The moment a flipper is touching a hand

From a wonderful, magical, mystery place

The language of love comes out of their face

ME LIKE YOU

It's the language of love

SEAL LIKE YOU MUCH

HURRY HURRY HURRY

It's the language of love

COME WITH ME

It's the language of love

SEAL LIKES CAR!

It's the language of love

YOU NICE HUMAN

THANKS

I HAVE THINKED

ABOUT WHAT?

WHAT IS LOVE?

LOVE IS THE GREATEST

THING OF ALL

WHEN WE LOVE

WE ALL CAN SPEAK

SPEAK THE LANGUAGE

THE LANGUAGE OF LOVE!
