Will you come with me?
Will you come along with me?
Will you come with me?
Will you come along with me?
Holding hands tightly,
without ever parting for a lifetime,
day and night, through the whole journey,
without straying from our path,
as my companion on the way,
with me until the very end,
will you come with me?
will you come along with me?
will you come with me?
will you come along with me?
Giving myself into your hands,
wondering when I gave myself away,
today I recalled the wonders
that happened back then.
Why a flower garden blooms,
and offers its honey like a feast,
why a heart, in just a single moment,
loses itself and yearns so restlessly—
what all this means... ah... ah... ah...
today I understood what it all means.
What else could be the reason here?
Without you, what life is left for me anymore?
Will you come with me?
Will you come along with me?
Will you come with me?
Will you come along with me?
On an island of love where no one else is around,
in a quiet corner of this world,
building a small hut all by ourselves,
we can share our love.
Like heavenly angels descending to the ground,
let sweet little children arrive,
and offer us the sweet nectar
of Gandharva (heavenly musicians') melodies.
By the silver snowy... ah... ah... ah...
Beside the silver snowy mountain,
like a grand procession of diamond chariots,
for the sparkling dreams in my eyes to come true,
will you come with me?
will you come along with me?
will you come with me?
will you come along with me?
Holding hands tightly,
without ever parting for a lifetime,
day and night, through the whole journey,
without straying from our path,
as my companion on the way,
with me until the very end,
will you come with me?
will you come along with me?
will you come with me?
will you come along with me?
