You and I are one
You are both me and you
Together, you and I
Can unite in a nest of love
Yet to go beyond even that,
My heart somehow hesitates
You are the very meaning of love
My heart is touched by some magic
You and I are one
You are both me and you
Every day, as youth
Was born inside my heart,
I kept thinking of you
Hearing dreams of love whisper in my ear,
I lay there daydreaming
Wishing to live beyond lifetimes,
I held this deep desire
For love to blossom between you and me,
I kept following you
I am a mango drenched in the drizzle,
Show me a little love
You are a flower full of smiles,
Smile softly and speak sweet words to me
You and I are one
You are both me and you
Together, you and I
Can unite in a nest of love
Yet to go beyond even that,
My heart somehow hesitates
You are the very meaning of love
My heart is touched by some magic
You and I are one
You are both me and you
