With their wings,
I saw the birds embrace, my love!
Seeing them, filled with youthful desire,
I stood enchanted, my love!
With their wings,
I saw the birds embrace, my love... ah!
Seeing them, filled with youthful desire,
I stood enchanted, my love... oh!
With their wings,
I saw the birds embrace, my love!
Why do bees sleep upon the flowers?
Why do the evening sky and earth draw so close?
Why do bees sleep upon the flowers?
Why do the evening sky and earth draw so close?
Why does the breeze blow to make the vines sway?
Why do the squirrels whisper secrets on the branches?
With their wings,
I saw the birds embrace, my love... ah!
Seeing them, filled with youthful desire,
I stood enchanted, my love... ah!
With their wings,
I saw the birds embrace, my love!
Am I not a living, walking statue?
Won't you claim it for yourself today?
Am I not a living, walking statue?
Won't you claim it for yourself today?
Is it not my heart welcoming and calling out to you?
Won't you answer the desires of youth today?
With their wings,
I saw the birds embrace, my love... ah!
Seeing them, filled with youthful desire,
I stood enchanted, my love... ah!
With their wings,
I saw the birds embrace, my love!
