Kangal edho

As my eyes
Search and steal,
My heart on its own
Sings and flies away.
Every single night,
I admired you so deeply,
Thoughts of you take my breath away,
My darling... oh!
A thousand rainbows
Your lovely eyes reveal.
If you suddenly hide them from me,
What will I do, my girl?
As my eyes
Search and steal,
My heart on its own
Sings and flies away.
With your playful words,
You sting me like a needle.
When you just glance at me,
Lightning showers down.
Your face glowing with light
Crashes into my heart.
The sweet words you speak,
Oh, they completely sweep me away!
I feel like sharing
So many things with you, my love.
Love arrived all of a sudden
And sifts right through my heart.
Your scent deep inside my chest
Does strange, sweet things to me.
With this overwhelming joy,
What will I do, my girl?
As my eyes
Search and steal,
My heart on its own
Sings and flies away.
Every single night,
I admired you so deeply,
Thoughts of you take my breath away,
My darling... oh!
A thousand rainbows
Your lovely eyes reveal.
If you suddenly hide them from me,
What will I do, my girl?
