Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey
My darling love, a firefly in glowing flames,
An endless poem of the body's longing,
In this magical evening, in a search that never fades,
The red flame burns warmer and warmer.
If I am a traveler
Passing through towns on the open road,
You become the gentle drizzle from the sky,
Embracing the flowers along the path.
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey
Mmm mmm mmm mmm mmm
Mmm mmm m mmm
Ho oh oh oh oh oh
...
My kisses will never run out, darling,
Even all this time won't be enough, darling.
Begging for kisses,
I become like a little child.
Holding tight to every leftover touch,
You turned into a pouring rain.
Slipping under the sheets and letting go,
Let us heal all our flaws and mistakes.
Like dark eyes and their sheltering lids,
Let us share the bed every single day.
Joining the sunlight with the dark,
Female: Joining the dark,
Male: Like the evening,
Female: Like the evening,
Male: Come, let us become one,
Female: Come, let us become one,
On a day that never dawns,
Female: That never dawns,
Male: On such a day,
Female: On such a day,
Male: As each other's boundaries,
Female: As each other's boundaries,
Male: Come, let us remain...
Hey hey hey
Hey hey hey hey hey
Ho oh oh oh
Ho oh oh oh oh oh
My darling love, a firefly in glowing flames,
An endless poem of the body's longing,
In this magical evening, in a search that never fades,
The red flame burns warmer and warmer.
If I am a traveler
Passing through towns on the open road,
You become the gentle drizzle from the sky,
Embracing the flowers along the path.
Amor...

Am I really myself?
