So many desires fill my heart,
I just don't know how to say them.
Because of you, my eyes can't sleep,
and I don't understand why.
The whole world belongs to us
if you are by my side.
Does heaven itself open up
when I walk with you?
Does my whole soul feel sweet
when I rest on your shoulder?
Do wings sprout on me
when I hold your hand?
Not even a single word
needs to be spoken here;
this is what love is.
Never parting from me,
you are always in my thoughts.
Without letting it fade,
I never forget to hold you close to my heart.
Never parting from me,
you are always in my thoughts.
Without letting it fade,
I never forget to hold you close to my heart.
I am a man who can reach up
and touch the clouds with my hands,
yet if you just look at me,
I stand shyly with folded hands.
My own name alone,
I have never spoken,
and there is not a single day
I haven't said it alongside yours.
Across fourteen lifetimes,
I want to carry you upon my shoulder.
Even when my footsteps falter with age,
both my eyes must still search for you.
When life leaves my body,
in that very second, your face
must appear before me.
Never parting from me,
you are always in my thoughts.
Without letting it fade,
I never forget to hold you close to my heart.
So many desires fill my heart,
I just don't know how to say them.
Because of you, my eyes can't sleep,
I don't understand why,
I don't understand why.
