O passing times, O changing times,
won't you sing a song of love?
As we sing, a melody blooms,
and our glances keep the beat.
As we sing, a melody blooms,
and our glances keep the beat.
Deep in the heart and in our thoughts,
a paradise comes alive!
Life is meant for living,
come what may, why have any fear?

Desire knows no shame, and love knows no shortage,
by the seashore of dancing waves, our hearts play with joy!
