I saw what I had never seen before!
I heard what I had never heard before!
I saw what I had never seen before!
Male: I too saw what I had never seen!
Female: I heard what I had never heard before!
Male: I too heard what I had never heard!
Female: As I whisper my love
right into your ears,
my eyes light up and sparkle!
As you, amidst the grass,
play a melody on the flute,
every single cell in me comes alive!
You are like a melodic flourish,
and I am like the song.
You are the leaping rhythm,
and I fall, helpless to resist.
I saw what I had never seen before!
Male: I too saw what I had never seen!
Female: I heard what I had never heard before!
Male: I too heard what I had never heard!
Ha... ah... ah...
With the magic spell of your name,
you cast a spell over me.
You placed a smile inside a flower,
you devoured me with your eyes,
you slew me with your love,
you poured fragrance into the jasmine.
Like an unfading flame,
like honey to dream upon,
you tasted sweet in your contrasting flavors!
With me as the mirror
and you in the reflection,
I met you in pure bliss.
As you closed and opened your eyes,
I dissolved into tears—is this fair?
Was it not here on this earth
that I lost you?
Searching the open skies,
shall we become an endless love?
I too saw what I had never seen,
I saw what I had never seen before!
Male: I too saw what I had never seen!
Female: I heard what I had never heard before!
Male: I too heard what I had never heard!
Female: As I whisper my love
right into your ears,
my eyes light up and sparkle!
As you, amidst the grass,
play a melody on the flute,
every single cell in me comes alive!
Like a delicate flower vase, I stood—
who was it that came like a shadowy phantom
and stole me away?
My very heartbeat longs for you,
Male: I saw what I had only dreamed of!
