My heart is with you, and your heart is with me
Melodies of love are in our eyes
All pleasures gather right in our hands
The coming days will bring sweetness to our new life
My heart is with you, and your heart is with me
As I rest against your chest and you lean upon my shoulder
As the gentle breeze sings a sweet song
I have found a festive day, and my heart celebrates
Every day I will cherish this joy that comes dancing to me
I called out to you; you are my companion forever
My heart is with you, and your heart is with me
...
Is this passion like a fish in your gaze, or desires colliding together?
Lighting a lamp of light in my life
Every day I will sing of this golden, swaying pleasure
The sweet joy of kissing without spilling the honey from our lips
I will be a feast for you every day; you are my companion forever
My heart is with you, and your heart is with me
Melodies of love are in our eyes
All pleasures gather right in our hands
The coming days will bring sweetness to our new life
My heart is with you, and your heart is with me
La la la, la la la, la la la, la la la
