Don't speak,
don't cast your glances.
What other
language do we need? Isn't silence enough?
Don't come close,
and having come close, don't pull away.
What else
do we need anymore?
Isn't silence enough?
In my heart,
what did you do? I am floating like the breeze.
It is your name alone
that plays like music in my heart today, like the breeze.
Don't speak,
don't cast your glances.
What other
language do we need? Isn't silence enough?
Taking you in with my eyes a little,
closing my eyes and cherishing you a little,
what more can I say, my love?
Not knowing what to do, I struggled.
Losing a part of myself to you,
finding myself again because of you,
what more can I say, my love?
Not understanding it all, my heart fluttered.
They say love is
a lingering trance—
today, I truly understand it.
Because of you, my womanhood
feels a new hesitation today.
What will you say?
What will I say?
Are words even needed?
You try to win over me,
I try to win over you,
and yet this
war of love will never cease.
Don't speak,
don't cast your glances.
What other
language do we need? Isn't silence enough?
Where, oh where, did my heart get lost?
Girl, oh girl, please tell me.
I left it trusting you; is it doing fine?
My heart over there...
Right there, over there, my heart
has found refuge with you.
It says you guarded it in your eyes, my dear,
your heart right here.
Our bodies
are two, but the heart
beats as one right here.
Even standing
at a distance, the air we breathe
connects the two of us.
What will you say?
What will I say?
Are words even needed?
You try to win over me,
I try to win over you,
and yet this
war of love will never cease.
Don't speak,
don't cast your glances.
What other
language do we need? Isn't silence enough?
Don't come close,
and having come close, don't pull away.
What else
do we need anymore?
Isn't silence enough?
