The little sparrow
wags its tail,
Touching and pulling me close,
rocking me gently.
Stammering and fumbling,
its mouth tries to speak.
Is it all to trap me
and enchant me completely?
The little sparrow
wags its tail,
Touching and pulling me close,
rocking me gently.
Stammering and fumbling,
its mouth tries to speak.
Is it all to trap me
and enchant me completely?
A dream, a lovely dream,
has come into my hands today.
A question, a single question,
has brought a thousand answers!
The little sparrow,
is it wagging its tail?
Touching and pulling me close,
is it rocking me gently?
Stammering and fumbling,
is its mouth trying to speak?
Is it to trap me
and enchant me completely?
Inside a flower,
like a drop of honey,
deep within my heart
I had hidden my love away.
Like a bee burrowing
into a blossom,
you found the hidden
drop of sweet nectar.
The words I want to say,
there are no words to say them.
Like a volcano inside a matchbox,
I had kept it hidden.
Striking me with your eyes,
sparking a fire,
you made the volcano erupt!
Rains of love have poured down,
drenching my entire life.
This is enough, this is more than enough;
from now on, on the vines we planted,
stars will blossom.
The little sparrow
wags its tail,
Touching and pulling me close,
rocking me gently.
Stammering and fumbling,
its mouth tries to speak.
Is it all to trap me
and enchant me completely?
On riverbanks and across open fields,
I will shout out the love we share.
On the rocks of the hills,
I will write your name.
In moments when you do not know,
I will touch the places you have touched.
At times when you do not notice,
I will gather up your kisses.
All across the open air,
our love has sprouted and grown.
Like a child, you measured me,
and in the corner of your clothes,
you tied up my very life.
The little sparrow,
is it wagging its tail?
Touching and pulling me close,
is it rocking me gently?
Stammering and fumbling,
is its mouth trying to speak?
Is it to trap me
and enchant me completely?
The little sparrow,
is it wagging its tail?
Touching and pulling me close,
is it rocking me gently?
Stammering and fumbling,
is its mouth trying to speak?
Is it to trap me
and enchant me completely?
A dream, a lovely dream,
has it come into my hands today?
Both: A question, a single question,
has it brought a thousand answers?
