Come, like a thousand shining moons,
Oh, come like a thousand shining moons,
As sweetness is sought at the edge of lips,
And eyes softly sing a brand-new song...
Come, like a thousand shining moons,
Oh, come like a thousand shining moons,
As sweetness is sought at the edge of lips,
And eyes softly sing a brand-new song...
To embrace the shoulders of my king,
As my woman's hands reach out and hold him,
My dark, cloud-like hair spreads out like a bed,
My eyes turn flushed and my lips turn pale.
To embrace the shoulders of my king,
As my woman's hands reach out and hold him,
My dark, cloud-like hair spreads out like a bed,
My eyes turn flushed and my lips turn pale.
In this sweet trance of love, on my lovely face,
Won't drops of sweat glisten like pearls?
In this sweet trance of love, on my lovely face,
Won't drops of sweat glisten like pearls?
Lost in that thought, I came and fell into your arms,
Just like a cluster of fresh flowers.
...
...
With the beautiful night keeping us company,
And the two of us alone together,
Why this shyness, and why these coy expressions?
Why have your steps grown so slow and unsteady?
With the beautiful night keeping us company,
And the two of us alone together,
Why this shyness, and why these coy expressions?
Why have your steps grown so slow and unsteady?
There is no sleep tonight,
My heart thinks only of you—won't you see my desire?
There is no sleep tonight,
My heart thinks only of you—won't you see my desire?
To write you deep into my very soul,
Won't you yield your golden form to me?
