Lyrics & Translation
Just like that
It's so sad that I can't help it - my hands got wet from the sunlight
It's so dazzling that I can't stand it - lost on the way back
Because the crimson light seemed to fall
Just a little more - I could have loved myself a bit
Noticing the sunset, we couldn't open our eyes - in the quiet evening calm
It's so sad that I can't help it - my hands touched the sunlight
Like it's burning slowly - only my fingertips got scorched
It feels like high-hanging grapes - stop because I can't reach them
Did I fall in love? - just like that sunlight
If there's no reason for it to fall - then already
On days when the cheeks are tinted with crimson, softly - even the bursting sunset just lights our path
If that's the case
Just a little more, I could love myself a bit - but
I saw you shyly smiling at the sunset - in the quiet evening calm
We couldn't even open our eyes
