english translation

    When I turned the corner
    I somehow knew you'd be there
    From the opposite side of a sunbeam
    I had the feeling
    I was coming close to you

    Because it's true love
    Wondrous things happen
    The coincidences keep piling up
    Like hints from destiny

    I love you too much (I love you too much)
    I love you too much (I love you too much)
    I love you too much (WOW WOW WOW...)
    I can't see (I can't see)
    Anyone else (anyone else)
    But you (WOW WOW WOW...)
    Since the day I found out
    What my future holds
    I've been searching
    I love you too much (I love you too much)
    I love you too much (I love you too much)
    I love you too much (WOW WOW WOW...)
    My heart (my heart)
    Is in such pain (is in such pain)
    It's suffocating (WOW WOW WOW...)
    Even if I start to give up
    I'll just fall in love with you again
    A hopeful refrain

    You seem so distant
    You leave soon after we start talking
    This should be my long-awaited chance
    But I'm totally fine
    Leaving it at that

    A friend of a friend
    I can't seem to move beyond that
    But the coincidences, surely
    Will keep coming around over and over

    Only you (only you)
    Only you (only you)
    Only you (WOW WOW WOW...)
    Can shake (can shake)
    The composure (the composure)
    Inside me (WOW WOW WOW...)
    Even when I close my eyes
    I can still see
    Your smile
    Only you (only you)
    Only you (only you)
    Only you (WOW WOW WOW...)
    Are my reason (are my reason)
    For living (for living)
    I know that now (WOW WOW WOW...)
    Even if I try to stop it
    I'll just feel this way again
    A hopeful refrain

    I love you too much
    I love you too much
    I love you too much
    I can't see anyone else
    But you
    I know that
    No matter how much I wish
    It won't come true
    Only you (only you)
    Only you (only you)
    Only you (WOW WOW WOW...)
    Without realizing (without realizing)
    Just be (just be)
    My flower (my flower)
    Every time I take a breath
    I fall in love with you again
    An unending refrain
    I fall in love with you
    A hopeful refrain
