A heart filled with longing
Saying, "Look there, over there,"
Dancing eyes saying, "Right here, right here,"
Speaking lips whispering this and that,
I became one with him.
A heart filled with longing
Saying, "Look there, over there,"
Dancing eyes saying, "Right here, right here,"
Speaking lips whispering this and that,
I became one with him.
A body tender as a plantain shoot
Whispering, "Joy, pure joy,"
Fragrant hair
Saying, "It will come, it will come,"
A slender, delicate waist
Promising, "It will give, it will give,"
I stood still like a statue.
A body tender as a plantain shoot
Whispering, "Joy, pure joy,"
Fragrant hair
Saying, "It will come, it will come,"
A slender, delicate waist
Promising, "It will give, it will give,"
I stood still like a statue.
A heart filled with longing
Saying, "Look there, over there,"
Dancing eyes saying, "Right here, right here,"
Speaking lips whispering this and that,
I became one with him.
Until yesterday evening,
Wondering, "Who could he be?"
Like a flower that asked,
Realizing, "It is him, only him!"
For the man who brought me here,
To share the sweet fragrance of his good heart,
I became his own.

When the rushing river flood
Brought me to his home
And placed me in his care,
Resting upon his lap,
The sweet pleasure I received
Felt so soothing and warm,
And I became his companion.
