O beautiful one, so my eyes
can paint a portrait of you, come, come, come!
O beautiful one, so my eyes
can paint a portrait of you, come, come, come!
My entire heart is filled with you, you, you!
O beautiful one, so my eyes
can paint a portrait of you, come, come, come!
My entire heart is filled with you, you, you!
A poem written by my very soul,
A poem written by my very soul,
come, come, come to give it a melody!
O beautiful one, O beautiful one!
My entire heart is filled with you, you, you!
A procession of clouds moves across the sky today,
who is it searching for as it travels?
With the seven-colored rainbow,
will it weave a garland to crown someone?
The mountain body is draped in green emeralds all over,
a loving vision gifted by Mother Nature.
Let us measure all this beauty with our eyes, come, come, come!
O beautiful one, so my eyes
can paint a portrait of you, come, come, come!
My entire heart is filled with you, you, you!
Can a body sculpted from honey bear it,
if the gentle breeze comes and brushes against it?
Can I endure a glance sharp as a spear,
if you aim and cast it at me?
My dear, you are the only address my eyes seek!
To me as well, the god of love gave
your address!
He gave it to me too, come, come, come!
O beautiful one, so my eyes
can paint a portrait of you, come, come, come!
My entire heart is filled with you, you, you!
A poem written by my very soul,
A poem written by my very soul,
come, come, come to give it a melody!
