What sweet bliss fills the heart!
This is what blooms in growing love!
Male: Come, singing sweet melodies,
singing songs of love!
Come discover this passion every day,
my sweetest love!
What sweet bliss fills the heart!
This is what blooms in growing love!
Like a bee upon a flower,
filled with new desire,
sharing vibrant colours of love,
you too tell me your thoughts!
When I begin to speak,
you close both your eyes
to share all the feelings
never written down before!
Joy makes its home
within your heart!
Male: Lighting a lamp of love,
my queen of romance!
Female: These pure, unspilled pearls,
this is the moment I gather them!
My sweetest love!
What sweet bliss fills the heart!
This is what blooms in growing love!
When an endless longing
took hold of me,
you arrived like sweet honey
to pamper and cherish me!
A life I had never known before,
when you gave it to me,
wearing a garland of flowers,
it was to praise and celebrate!
You are my queen,
and I am your honeybee!
Female: You are my king,
and I am your rose!
Male: In this sacred bond of ours,
this is the heaven I have found!
My sweetest love!
What sweet bliss fills the heart!
This is what blooms in growing love!
Female: Come, singing sweet melodies,
singing songs of love!
Come discover this passion every day,
my sweetest love!
What sweet bliss fills the heart!
This is what blooms in growing love!
