A dream of love
A dream of love
A dream of love
A dream of love
Both our hearts

Shine bright like moonlight

Wake into dawn

Stepping down to earth and dancing,
Female: the colors of the sky, in your
love, I have seen.
Winding and rushing with force,
Female: a forest flood
overcomes itself.
Sweeping the soul away,
O talking woman, you are no ordinary woman,
aren't you a divine beauty in woman's form?
Are you a treasure mine of words?
A dream of love
A dream of love
A dream of love
A dream of love
Until now
Female: Every direction that stayed closed
is opening wide now
Male: In the depths of the heart,
Female: neither leaving nor drawing near,
it glows like a flame
With a gentle smile
she called out...
In the heart
Female: painted
Male: a woman's portrait
Female: sweet
Male: lips open
Female: drawing me in
she called out
In the soul
Female: mingling
Male: in sweet shyness
Female: floating
Male: music is born
Female: life overflows
Longing for fingers to beckon,
Female: magic in your words
I have always seen.
Male: Gathering the rain to feed,
Female: like a skylark, love knows no bounds.
Running without pause,
the mirror of time has become a woman
and dances in my home.
Are you the eyes that search?
A dream of love
A dream of love
A dream of love
A dream of love
