Anange….
Wondering when that tiny face will appear,
and bring some sweet happiness,
I will wait in prayer with longing.
The baby's gentle movements,
and the father's fond gaze,
I will gather them all to fill my soul.
Oh enchanting beauty, oh enchanting beauty,
Oh enchanting beauty, oh enchanting beauty,
Oh enchanting beauty...
Aah... aa...
I will brush the dust off the breeze,
take its signature,
and only then let it inside.
Nesting in yesterday,
the memories you gave me,
I will call them back again.
Even if it is just firewood, if given by you,
my body will fall upon it as fire.
Even if it is the end, beside you,
I will meet my end just to touch you with my fingers.
Without you, what am I?
Oh enchanting beauty, oh enchanting beauty,
Oh enchanting beauty, oh enchanting beauty,
Oh enchanting beauty, oh enchanting beauty,
Oh enchanting beauty, oh enchanting beauty,
Oh enchanting beauty, oh enchanting beauty,
Oh enchanting beauty...
