There is a song within this song,
and my heart longs to learn it.
This youth is so fresh and new, come to me, my flowering vine!
The song your beloved sings will be sweet,
come sing along with me!
The song your beloved sings will be sweet,
come sing along with me!
There is a song within this song,
and my heart longs to learn it.
O girl who entered this body,
and made a home in my very soul!
In the warm evening sun and in the flower of love,
O girl who is always so sweet!
We must clear away every hurdle
to reach out and follow each other,
as this lion draws near
to give shelter to his golden girl.
Inside this tiny little heart,
what secrets could there be?
Inside this young girl's eyes,
is it desire that sparkles?
There is honey in every word we speak,
heaven is right beside us,
and hand is joined in hand.
There is a song within this song,
and my heart longs to learn it.
Let the round dark eyes of this little sparrow
playfully dance with mischief!
To the pouring music, let playful young hearts
tumble in a close embrace!
Like smooth silk, like a bunch of sweet fruit,
let your cheeks stay soft and glowing!
To shower all our love and share pure joy,
let our hearts draw close!
A grand feast is laid out
for the beloved who shares this bond;
a sweet melody and song have arrived
for my tender flowering vine.
Are there just a word or two between us?
Life here will never pause or fade,
and this desire will never change today!
There is a song within this song,
and my heart longs to learn it.
This youth is so fresh and new, come to me, my flowering vine!
The song your beloved sings will be sweet,
come sing along with me!
The song your beloved sings will be sweet,
come sing along with me!
There is a song within this song,
and my heart longs to learn it.
