[English]

Hey boy

Look, I’m gonna make this simple for you.

You got two choices…

YES or YES?

Ah choose only one of the two YES or YES?

Ah ah make your choice come on YES or YES?

Since when was I so selfish?

Did I ever want something this eagerly?

Everyone is surprised at how shameless I am

Come on and tell me yes

My scenario has become more daring than I thought

I’d say this plan is perfect, quite satisfying

I don’t care no matter what others say

You better tell me yes

I have decided YES!

Now it’s time to hear your answer

If it’s too hard, there are examples to choose from

You don’t have to waste your time thinking

Don’t know what you’ll choose, so I prepared these options

Choose only one of the two YES or YES?

Don’t know what you want, so I prepared these options

Make your choice come on YES or YES?

I will say no to your no, is it me or us?

I respect your choice but reject your rejection

There is only one answer, the choice is up to you

It’s all up to you

Choose only one of the two YES or YES?

Do you mean it? Do not guess

Are you serious? Do not ask

Don’t give me that unsure side-to-side, I want a sure up-and-down

There’s no letters N & O

I’ll erase them from today

There’s no need to think too hard

The answer is YES YES YO

You bring out my hidden selfishness

Your eyes and

my curiosity about you

make my heart burning

My heart burn burn burn

You better hurry up

To make it simple

Whatever you choose, you will be with me

Though it may seem a bit absurd

Though you might say I’m insisting you

I’ll make you to never regret

Don’t know what you’ll choose, so I prepared these options

Choose only one of the two YES or YES?

Don’t know what you want, so I prepared these options

Make your choice come on YES or YES?

I will say no to your no, is it me or us?

I respect your choice but reject your rejection

There is only one answer, the choice is up to you

Now, it’s all up to you

Maybe not

No! No!

Maybe yes

No! No!

Make it more clearly Show me how you feel

Open your ears. Don’t you hear it?

It's! Simple! Y! E! S! Hey!

Choose only one of the two YES or YES?

Make your choice come on YES or YES?

Here is one more YES or YES or YES

Take your pick, the choice is up to you

Don’t know what you’ll choose, so I prepared these options

Choose only one of the two YES or YES?

Don’t know what you want, so I prepared these options

Make your choice come on YES or YES?

I will say no to your no, is it me or us?

I respect your choice but reject your rejection

There is only one answer, the choice is up to you

It’s all up to you

Make your choice come on YES or YES?
