A world of wonders, a secret heart,
A beautiful form, a tender youth.
You will know what true sweetness feels like,
If you hold me close, you will understand the whole world.
You will know what true sweetness feels like,
If you hold me close, you will understand the whole world.
If you say you are not used to this,
And ask for an explanation,
Just try it once or twice, and then—tharikita thom!
I invited you into a woman's world,
I will bring a golden world before your eyes.
A world of wonders, a secret heart,
A beautiful form, a tender youth.
