Lyrics:

Gomen nasai I'm so sorry gomen nasai
I am so sorry I made you cry
Won't you forgive me dear
Goman nasai nights have been lonely
My days are blue, because I made a fool of you
Won't you forgive me dear

My butterfly heart has brought you pain
Won't you forgive won't you forget
Let's be sweethearts again

Goman nasai nights would be heaven
Love fill my days
If you'd believe me when I say
I love you gomen nasai
I love you gomen nasai
I love you gomen nasai
