Both :I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love
I smile, I thrill with joy
I am living without a heart
Where is my heart, where is my heart... where?
I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love
What is this? What is this?
My heart has left me
And watches me from afar
What is this? What is this?
My eyes have left me
And lie waiting along your path
The cool moisture in the breeze
Is fading away
Male: Here, the breeze has caught fire
And is burning
Female: I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love
What is this? What is this?
My heart has left me
And watches me from afar
What is this? What is this?
My eyes have left me
And lie waiting along your path
Haa... aaa... aa...
Haa... aaa... aaa... aaa...
As a flash of lightning strikes
And the cloud catches fire,
I stood overwhelmed by love
Mmm... mm
Beholding your beauty,
A mountain of melting snow
I saw right here
Just a single spark is enough,
A whole forest will catch fire
Male: Just your footprint is enough,
My heart sinks deep into it
Female: All the roads
Where lovers walk
Lead straight toward heaven
What is this? What is this?
My heart has left me
And watches me from afar
What is this? What is this?
My eyes have left me
And lie waiting along your path
The sweet comfort of the breeze
Caressing my cheek
Is pure bliss, just like you
Mmm... mm
The swaying of the flowers
And the curves of the river
Are pure bliss, just like you
This touch is more than enough
This moment is more than enough
Male: We don't need this world,
Let's search for another planet
Female: None of the wonders of the world compare,
My love, before our love
What is this? What is this?
My heart has left me
And watches me from afar
What is this? What is this?
My eyes have left me
And lie waiting along your path
The cool moisture in the breeze
Is fading away
Male: Here, the breeze has caught fire
And is burning
Both: I have fallen in love
I have fallen in love
