Heart, oh heart, what has happened to you?
Why are you skipping beats as you throb?
Heart, oh heart, what has happened to me?
Why are you yearning, completely out of control?
Heart, oh heart, what has happened to you?
Why are you skipping beats as you throb?
Heart, oh heart, what has happened to me?
Why are you yearning, completely out of control?
Do not blink, my girl.
If my eyes lose sight of yours for even a second,
inside a whirlpool of tears,
won't they drown?
Do not smile, my girl.
Won't your sweet smile scoop up sudden lightning
and scatter it all across
my heart?
Every moment you come near me,
turns delightfully cool and gentle.
This human mind of mine
becomes a bird soaring high in the sky.
Oh, speaking silently through your two eyes,
stealing my heart away so softly and smoothly,
you are a captivating killer girl who sweetly tortures me.
Henna red glows across your fingernails,
a smile never leaves your lips,
and you are the vibrant charm of blooming youth.
Heart, oh heart, what has happened to you?
Why are you skipping beats as you throb?
Heart, oh heart, what has happened to me?
Why are you yearning, completely out of control?
My mornings and evenings belong only with you,
and the flowers along my path bloom only because of you.
To me, manhood itself is your strong body,
and when I lean on your chest, I become light as the breeze.
A storm is blowing inside my heart, my darling,
feathers are fluttering within me,
all because of you.
Haven't you attached yourself to my eyes and ears,
to my nose, and to my very breath?
Do not blink, my girl.
If my eyes lose sight of yours for even a second,
inside a whirlpool of tears,
won't they drown?
Do not smile, my girl.
Girl... oh girl, do not smile.
Heart, oh heart, what has happened to you?
Why are you skipping beats as you throb?
Heart, oh heart, what has happened to me?
Why are you yearning, completely out of control?
