Beauty, oh beauty, you are the very essence of beauty, girl.
Near you, so close to you, I got beautifully lost, girl.
Just five minutes, it took only five minutes, girl,
for fire to catch hold in my longing heart, girl.
I dreamed all kinds of dreams.
I came to give myself completely to you.
Yet, as fast as I came, I hesitated.
Are you a fish that devours the fisherman?
Or a deer that defeats the hunter?
Come, sweet fruit, sweetest of fruits, snow with fire inside!
If you walk away without coming, this man will be left all alone.
Come, sweet fruit, sweetest of fruits, snow with fire inside!
From now on, all my days will roll by just for you.
Beauty, oh beauty, you are the very essence of beauty, girl.
Near you, so close to you, I got beautifully lost, girl.
You looked at me with eyes as hot as fire,
then looked again to soothe and cool me down.
Both your eyes clearly speak of love,
yet you kept pretending otherwise.
Often you pricked me like a thorn,
yet you blossom gently like a flower.
Have a little mercy in your heart
and open its door for me.
This thing called love
is just like a little child.
Only when it whines and fusses,
does it finally get attention.
I beg of you, I ask you to show me some affection.
Yet you refuse to listen
and keep playing hard to get.
Between you and me,
for love to circle around us...
Sweet fruit, sweetest of fruits, snow with fire inside!
If you walk away without coming, this man will be left all alone.
Come, sweet fruit, sweetest of fruits, snow with fire inside!
From now on, all my days will roll by just for you.
I have so many dreams of my own,
why should I tell them all to you?
Open your heart and speak freely
as a good friend to me.
You liked me the moment you saw me,
but I need time to feel like getting close.
Searching for fish in a desert mirage—
why wander around doing that?
You are like a grand temple chariot, girl,
and I am just a roadside branch.
As you brush past me,
my heart breaks to pieces.
Are you a Ghazni in love (relentless invader)?
Parading through my daydreams?
Why do you keep chasing after me?
Why do you try so hard to get close?
Between you and me, why should
love even make its rounds?
Sweet fruit, sweetest of fruits, snow with fire inside!
If you walk away without coming, this man will be left all alone.
Come, sweet fruit, sweetest of fruits, snow with fire inside!
From now on, all my days will roll by just for you.
Beauty, oh beauty, you are the very essence of beauty, girl.
Near you, so close to you, I got beautifully lost, girl.
Just five minutes, it took only five minutes, girl,
for fire to catch hold in my longing heart, girl.
I dreamed all kinds of dreams.
I came to give myself completely to you.
Yet, as fast as I came, I hesitated.
Are you a fish that devours the fisherman?
Or a deer that defeats the hunter?
Am I the lover who gave his heart to you?
Come, sweet fruit, sweetest of fruits, snow with fire inside!
If you walk away without coming, this man will be left all alone.
Come, sweet fruit, sweetest of fruits!
Snow with fire inside...
