[Humming...]
Holding my hand in yours,
you stitched wings onto my feet.
Gazing into my eyes,
you brought color to my cheeks.
With the kohl of your eyes,
you rewrote my destiny.
Saying a new dawn arrives whenever we wish,
you poured soothing water over the fire.
All the visions
that I see in my dreams,
you brought to life before my eyes.
Whenever you come before me
and cast a glance my way,
you start a war within my heart.
[Humming...]
So that I could go far without defeat,
you placed a garland on my shoulders.
As both a friend and a companion,
you completely won me over.
Without asking, without hesitation,
you walked whatever distance I asked.
Endlessly, without holding back,
you gave me the depth of your love.
You are a treasure found without searching;
not a day will pass without us together.
Open-minded and bold, stepping forward freely,
may you live on without ever fading...
With the kohl of your eyes,
you rewrote my destiny.
Saying a new dawn arrives whenever we wish,
you poured soothing water over the fire.
All the visions
that I see in my dreams,
you brought to life before my eyes.
Whenever you come before me
and cast a glance my way,
you start a war within my heart.
