As waves playfully ripple and run,

as flowers dance in the summer breeze,

As waves playfully ripple and run,

as flowers dance in the summer breeze,

Sounds drifting through the air,

eyes floating in a dream,

I have seen them, my love, my dear...

Oh, melody born of love,

song gifted by mother,

Melody born of love,

song gifted by mother,

I will sing of you forever,

sweet honey of joy wells up in my heart.

As waves playfully ripple and run,

as flowers dance in the summer breeze,

As waves playfully ripple and run,

as flowers dance in the summer breeze.
