Darling, with eyes so beautiful,
May I come close to you, my beauty?
Precious gem, so gorgeous,
May I shower love on your golden smile, my beauty?
At the words of this smiling flower of a girl,
Blushing with shyness, I even forget myself.
As this lovely girl swayed me with her playful gestures,
A rain of a million kisses poured down.
Bonding with my heart,
You blended into my dreams, my darling.
With a smile that steals my heart,
You speak sweet stories, my pearl of beauty.
To lose myself in you,
My heart keeps longing.
A million desires live in me,
Tell me what yours are, my sweet flower.
Will my eyes ever forget you,
As long as you stay with me?
Love keeps showering down,
Don't give me shy looks, I'm just asking for a kiss.
Bonding with my heart,
You blended into my dreams, my darling.
With a smile that steals my heart,
You speak sweet stories, my pearl of beauty.
Bonding with my heart,
You blended into my dreams, my darling.
With a smile that steals my heart,
You speak sweet stories, my pearl of beauty.
