Oh silence, my silence, won't you come sing with me?
Come like the full moon onto this singer's stage!
Love's reward is the eyes' permission,
is it fair for the eyelids to scorch the eyes?
Oh silence, my silence, won't you come sing with me?
Come like the full moon onto this singer's stage!
It is alright, my darling,
just look at me with half a glance.
So that our two souls embrace,
merge me into you.
It is alright, my darling,
just look at me with half a glance.
So that our two souls embrace,
merge me into you.
My love, if anyone says your name
harshly, I would weep.
Touching the soil where your feet have stepped,
I will build a temple and worship.
I will build a temple and worship...
Oh silence, my silence, won't you come sing with me?
Come like the full moon onto this singer's stage!
Love's reward is the eyes' permission,
is it fair for the eyelids to scorch the eyes?
Never before in my eyes
has lightning struck like this.
Never before, my girl, has my heart
beaten twice as fast.
That I still have another life to live here,
I never really thought.
If it means being parted from you, my darling,
I will never take another birth.
I will never take another birth...
Oh silence, my silence, won't you come sing with me?
Come like the full moon onto this singer's stage!
Love's reward is the eyes' permission,
is it fair for the eyelids to scorch the eyes?
Oh silence, my silence, won't you come sing with me?
Come like the full moon onto this singer's stage...
