The longing heart blossoms and opens,
The sweet nectar of love pours down.
A new shyness begins to dawn,
And spring clouds sprinkle a gentle dew.
The body itself sings the melodies of life.
The longing heart blossoms and opens,
The sweet nectar of love pours down.
Young hearts that searched for shelter,
Truly spread out a bed of flowers.
Now all boundaries have disappeared,
And fresh jasmines dance without stopping.
Dancing before my eyes, oh... oh... oh...
My sweet darling, oh... oh... oh...
Sweet lullabies are heard, touching me deeply.
The longing heart blossoms and opens,
The sweet nectar of love pours down.
That blue sky where the moon wanders,
And the cool stream flowing with sweetness,
Have now become our very own kingdom.
Whispering silent blessings to us.
You are my lord and love,
And I am your very life, oh... oh... oh...
Sweet lullabies are heard, touching me deeply.
The longing heart blossoms and opens,
The sweet nectar of love pours down.
A new shyness... [Hmm mmm]
Begins to dawn... [Haa aaa]
Spring clouds... [Hmm mm]
Sprinkle a gentle dew... [Haa...]
The longing heart blossoms and opens,
The sweet nectar of love pours down.
