My darling, apple of my eye,
With eyes like glowing fireflies,
As the light of my life,
You came to me.
My treasure, my golden gem,
Crawling like gentle white snow,
Just for me, solely for me,
You came into my life.
You came running right into my arms,
Lean on my shoulder and close your eyes.
Because of you, I have become your toy,
I will gladly sing you a lullaby and care for you.
Aariraaro, aaraariro...
As I sing, you must drift off to sleep.
Thaalelaalo, thaalelaalo...
You must always live on with me.
All the sorrows of my life
Will disappear only because of you.
Your very life, just for me,
You have given away.
In return for everything,
What can I ever do for you?
To fulfill your every wish,
Will you tell me what you desire?
Love has no boundaries,
It holds no expectations.
As a blessing meant just for me,
You arrived.
Aariraaro, aaraariro...
As I sing, you must drift off to sleep.
Thaalelaalo, thaalelaalo...
You must always live on with me.
You came running right into my arms,
Lean on my shoulder and close your eyes.
Because of you, I have become your toy,
I will gladly sing you a lullaby and care for you.
My darling, apple of my eye,
With eyes like glowing fireflies,
As the light of my life,
You came to me.
My treasure, my golden gem,
Crawling like gentle white snow,
Just for me, solely for me,
You came to me.
My darling, apple of my eye,
With eyes like glowing fireflies,
As the light of my life,
You came to me.
