I don't need the magnetic pull of your eyes,
The peace in your heart is enough.
Our hearts never need to sleep,
It is enough if our eyes just rest.
There are no more obstacles left in life,
We will soar beyond the skies.
My beautiful one...
My sweetest nectar...
I don't need the magnetic pull of your eyes,
The peace in your heart is enough.
Our hearts never need to sleep,
It is enough if our eyes just rest.
There are no more obstacles left in life,
We will soar beyond the skies.
My beautiful one...
La la-la la-la la la
La-la la-la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la la
La-la la-la-la-la
A life lived with anyone else,
I do not want it, my girl.
All the time I have in this life,
Belongs only to you.
As you rest upon my lap,
Sleeping together under one blanket,
Wipe away your tears,
My precious darling.
The sea and the sky make love
Right behind us.
I am completely filled with you,
Yet I didn't even realize it myself.
The secret of why I was born a woman,
I finally understand it now.
La la-la la-la la la
La-la la-la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la la
La-la la-la-la-la
I don't need the magnetic pull of your eyes,
The peace in your heart is enough.
Our hearts never need to sleep,
It is enough if our eyes just rest.
There are no more obstacles left in life,
We will soar beyond the skies.
My beautiful one...
La la-la la-la la la
La-la la-la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la
You are the true kin I have found,
You are like a second mother to me.
I waited alone as if in deep prayer,
Just to blend and become one with you.
Is this a holiday from loneliness?
Shall our lips meet
For the very first time?
To be united with you, I don't need a whole life,
Not even another day.
If the world ends today,
Even that is enough.
The one keeping us apart
Is an enemy called the night.
Yet the days keep moving forward,
Bringing news of our wedding day.
La la-la la-la la la
La-la la-la-la-la la-la la-la-la-la
La la-la la-la la la
La-la la-la-la-la
I don't need the magnetic pull of your eyes,
The peace in your heart is enough.
Our hearts never need to sleep,
It is enough if our eyes just rest.
There are no more obstacles left in life,
We will soar beyond the skies.
My beautiful one...
