My love, here I am in tears
My love, I wander in vain
My love, you are my very life
Come to me, my angel, come
My love, do not leave me
My dream, do not fade away
I am suffering for your love
Come back to me, my love
Dream... do not fade
My life... do not leave me
Hoo ho oh-oh-oh oh-oh
Hoo oh-oh-oh-oh
I fell in love, I fell in love
I found love in you
My beloved friend, just to see you
I came running every single day
For some reason, when I do not see you
A fire burns in my heart, girl
When I speak to you with my eyes
My tears overflow, girl
My love, lost in your thoughts
I wither away every day
Because of you, my dream
I lose my sleep
My sweet companion, my lovely darling
The moment I saw you
A soul merged in love
Tears well up in your heart
Today it blended into my breath
And then vanished into the air
Why is it so...
My love, are you in tears too?
My love, am I wandering in vain?
My love, am I your life too?
Come to me as my love
My love, would I ever leave you?
Would I shatter our dream and go?
Would I make you suffer for love?
Come to me, my charming thief
Is it a dream or magic?
A trick played by love?
An event that melts the eyes?
Or a memory etched in the heart?
Whenever you touch me
My heart gets trapped and aches
Just to catch a glimpse of you
My eyes have waited in penance for years
Look into my heart just once
A hundred desires have gathered there
Tell me, was what you did right?
Tell me, what was my fault?
I suffer, I hide it
I shatter my own dreams
My heart aches as I think of you
I suffer in loneliness
Tell me, is this intoxication of love wrong?
I saw poetry in your eyes
I found love in your soul
Somehow, through your breath
I merged into you today
My love, would I ever leave you?
Would I shatter our dream and go?
Would I make you suffer for love?
Come to me, my charming thief
My love, here I am in tears
My love, I wander in vain
My love, you are my very life
Come to me, my angel, come
My love, do not leave me
My dream, do not fade away
I am suffering for your love
Come back to me, my love
Dream... do not fade
Male: Dream... do not fade
Female: My life... do not leave me
Male: My life... do not leave me
Do not leave... do not leave me
Do not go... do not leave me
Do not leave... girl, do not leave
Hoo hoo
Do not go, do not go... do not leave me
