I feel like saying something to you
A seven-colored rainbow blooms before my eyes
As you come before me, my joy only grows
A gentle breeze blows at the doorway of my heart
I want this same love, this same fragrance forever
You are my life, you are my life
My heart yearns for you
You are my life, you are my life
Has my soul found its refuge in you?
I feel like saying something to you
A seven-colored rainbow blooms before my eyes
If there ever was a flower of a man, it is you
The moments you smile are like refreshing rain
Which god blessed me with this gift,
that you came into my life?
Was I created in this world
just to fall in love and melt for you?
I am a little mirror holding your reflection,
I will cherish it and live forever
O my vast sky, upon you
I will rest as a white cloud
You are my life, you are my life
My heart yearns for you
You are my life, you are my life
Has my soul found its refuge in you?
Did my soul take flight the moment you looked at me?
Are all the waves of my ocean searching for you?
When I go to sleep thinking of you,
even my eyelids refuse to close
Just like a baby in the womb,
I live protected in your love
Ah, my whole life is in your hands,
you are all I need, my love
Even on the day the earth covers me,
my heart will still search for your scent
You are my life, you are my life
My heart yearns for you
You are my life, you are my life
Has my soul found its refuge in you?
