With a cool, soothing chill,
my heart feels so refreshed, my dear.
When you lean upon my shoulder,
it feels like rain is pouring down.
With a cool, soothing chill,
my heart feels so refreshed, my dear.
When you lean upon my shoulder,
it feels like rain is pouring down.
With a gentle, rippling sound,
a cool drizzle falls upon us.
To turn into a little child,
a sweet longing is born within me.
Me for you,
and from now on, you for me,
every day we can sing, we can sing,
a beautiful lullaby.
With a cool, soothing chill,
my heart feels so refreshed, my dear.
When you lean upon my shoulder,
it feels like rain is pouring down.
I want it, I want it, every day I want it,
I want to lean upon your chest.
Listening peacefully to your heartbeat,
I want to fall asleep.
Thillele thillele thillele thillele
Thillelo thillelo
I want it, I want it, I want it too,
I want to hold you against my chest.
Stroking your hair and kissing your head,
my heart wants to feel comforted and cool.
For my heart to taste pure sweetness,
you must come close beside me.
To hold it dear and press it to my eyes,
you must give me your heart.
For me to truly live my life,
I need you to be mine forever.
With a cool, soothing chill, hoy...
With a cool, soothing chill,
my heart feels so refreshed, my dear.
When you lean upon my shoulder,
it feels like rain is pouring down.
Sway and lean, dear, sway and lean,
lean upon my shoulder and sway,
sway and lean in happiness.
Hoy hoy hoy hoy hee heehee hee heehee
Look at the tree, look at the tree,
look at the nest upon its branch.
Look at the two little birds in the nest,
and see the two of us in those birds.
Aariro aa-aariro aariro aa-aariro
Aararo aa-aararo
Look at the land, look at the land,
look at the grass resting in the earth's lap.
Look at the dew on the tips of the grass,
and see our hearts reflected in that dew.
Our life together from a past birth
stands vividly before my thoughts.
The life I shared with you back then,
those memories entrance my eyes.
In deep comfort and joy,
can I hold you tight and cry happy tears?
With a cool, soothing chill,
my heart feels so refreshed, my dear.
When you lean upon my shoulder,
it feels like rain is pouring down.
With a gentle, rippling sound,
a cool drizzle falls upon us.
To turn into a little child,
a sweet longing is born within me.
Me for you,
and from now on, you for me,
every day we can sing, we can sing,
a beautiful lullaby.
With a cool, soothing chill,
my heart feels so refreshed, my dear.
When you lean upon my shoulder,
it feels like rain is pouring down.
With a gentle, rippling sound,
a cool drizzle falls upon us.
To turn into a little child,
a sweet longing is born within me.
