Come, my life
Give me life
Come, my life
Give me life
The melodies of our bond
are heard within our souls
If these golden times are lost
only tears will remain in the heart
Come, my life
Give me life
I have felt a blissful love
I have found great joy in life
The world's first day is blooming
A warm glow spreads through the soul
Hearts joined together
in the flow of a new stream
drift along so beautifully
Ho ho ho ho oh oh oh oh
Ho ho ho ho oh oh oh oh oh
Across the skies, forms of love
bloom in our dreams, come
Why this sadness?
The drifting clouds
find their meaning in love
I have felt a blissful love
Female: I have felt it
Male: I have found great joy in life
Female: I have found it
Male: The world's first day is blooming
A warm glow spreads through the soul
Hearts joined together

Both: drift along so beautifully
Come, my life
