My feet keep searching,
My eyes keep wandering,
Longing for you, it beats fast,
My heart, my very life!
The nights torment me,
My heart is bursting,
At the sound of anklets,
My heart stumbles.
Just a single look, just a word,
If you give it, that is enough, my love.
Will you come? Will you give it to me?
My love, where are you?
Without me, there is no you,
There is no other life after this,
Without you, there is no me.
Just a single look, just a word,
If you give it, that is enough, my love.
Will you come? Will you give it to me?
My love, where are you?
My feet keep searching,
My eyes keep wandering,
Longing for you, it beats fast,
My heart, my very life!
The nights torment me,
My heart is bursting,
At the sound of anklets,
My heart stumbles.
My feet keep searching,
My eyes keep wandering,
Longing for you, it beats fast,
My heart, my very life!
The nights torment me,
My heart is bursting,
At the sound of anklets,
My heart stumbles.
...
You looked deep into my eyes,
And I live there like the eyelids of your eyes.
I reached out my hand to live with you,
And as our hearts united, our lives became one.
As the waves crash again and again,
Even the sea sand turns wet.
If I just keep looking at you and admiring you,
Our love will live forever.
My life... my everything...
Aah... aa... aa... aa... aa...
Haa... aa... aah... aa... aa... haa... aa... aa...
Haa... aah... aah...
Haa... aa...
Will the heart caress? Will the soul plead?
Why is there still this hesitation?
Will lips meet? Will hands hold each other?
In the days to come, will our dreams come true?
When a bee comes to a flower,
Does it take long to drink the nectar?
For you to come and hold me close,
Do we need even a moment's delay?
My life... my everything...
Just a single look, just a word,
If you give it, that is enough, my love.
Will you come? Will you give it to me?
My love, where are you?
Without me, there is no you,
There is no other life after this,
Without you, there is no me.
Just a single look, just a word,
Chorus: Longing for you, it beats fast,
My heart, my very life!
Will you come? Will you give it to me?

My heart stumbles.
