I saw you for the very first time,
And I completely lost myself.
Inside me today, there is a strange new struggle—
Is this what the world calls love?
The very air that I breathe out,
You must love it and breathe it in, my girl.
Sign yourself over completely to my name,
Come and sleep on my chest every single day.
I saw you for the very first time,
And I completely lost myself.
With walls made only of clouds,
I will build a bathroom for you.
So that only my eyes can watch,
I will leave a tiny peephole in it.
A hundred and eight stars,
I will string them all together,
Like an anklet around your feet,
I will tie them on and sing you to sleep.
Made from soft peacock feathers,
I will give you a bed.
Oh, a clock that stops running through the night
Is right here in our home!
Only after asking my permission
Must you even draw a breath,
Yet without ever asking,
You must touch me.
I saw you for the very first time,
And I completely lost myself.
...
When it is time for me to go to work,
If you are caught in a mood for love,
Just tie me down with a single strand of your hair,
And I will not step outside at all.
Sweet little kisses—
Will you cook and serve them to me?
Dipping into shyness and blushing modesty,
Come, let us feast on that meal of kisses!
Oh, scooping up heaps of soft foam,
Making a bed of flowers out of it,
Until you cry out, "Enough, enough!",
Our passion will linger on, mmm...
Pricking you gently with my mustache,
Shall I give you loving little wounds?
And on those sweet wounds of joy,
Shall I dab my saliva to soothe them?
I saw you for the very first time,
And I completely lost myself.
Inside me today, there is a strange new struggle—
Is this what the world calls love?
The very air that I breathe out,
You must love it and breathe it in, my girl.
Sign yourself over completely to my name,
Come and sleep on my chest every single day.
I saw you for the very first time,
And I completely lost myself.
