With so much longing, with so much longing,
I want to lean on your shoulder.
When will you come to me,
like a child onto my lap?
Under your gaze,
why do I break into a sweat, my love?
At your touch,
I lose myself completely, my love.
The distance between us is shrinking now,
and now the sweet torment begins... hum mm mm.
The distance between us is shrinking now,
and now the sweet torment begins... hum mm mm.
With so much longing, with so much longing,
I want to lean on your shoulder.
When will you come to me,
like a child onto my lap?
As desire grows,
clothes slip loose,
and my body grows restless with longing.
Male: Come, my beauty,
Female: Like a wounded snake,
my soul thrashes within me.
Male: I felt that, my life.
Female: You are the sun of my night, my man.
Male: Come, gentle mist,
melt away inside me.
With so much longing, with so much longing,
I want to lean on your shoulder.
When will you come to me,
like a child onto my lap?
Hooking me in with your gaze,
slay me with a shower of kisses, girl!
Female: Come softly...
Male: Hold me close to your chest for a little while,
and breathe life into me, girl.
Female: My soul and body are yours.
Male: You are the sun of my night, girl!
Female: Come closer... hmm mm mm.
With so much longing, with so much longing,
I want to lean on your shoulder.
When will you come to me,
like a child onto my lap?
Under your gaze,
why do I break into a sweat, girl?
At your touch,
why do I lose myself, girl?
The distance between us is shrinking now,
and now the sweet torment begins... hum mm mm.
The distance between us is shrinking now,
and now the sweet torment begins... hum mm mm.
