My darling, I have turned into sweet honey
My darling, I am nothing without you
My darling, hearing your colorful words
I stood in the breeze, and my fragrance rises
Whenever you come by
O river, a river of sweet love!
My lovely little trouble!
Who else could make me blossom,
My root?
O river, overflowing river of milk!
My chariot of flowers!
You walk past, taking me captive,
O name that holds me prisoner...
My breath gets caught
My heart stumbles
Now that I am yours,
I show off just a little
Even our shadows cling together
Do not let go of my hand
Holding you close, my heart
melts with deep love, my beauty
O river, a river of sweet love!
My lovely little trouble!
Who else could make me blossom,
My root?
Even when my eyes are asleep,
Like a deer you leap across my heart
Like a flower resting upon a flower,
As I lift you in my arms,
Without letting a single speck of dust touch you,
I will weave you into my soul today
Can I live as you, my dear?
I will follow you beyond this world,
Take me away with you
Even when my family walks beside me,
Every other face fades away
All I see is your face—precious, crazy, and pure
O river, a river of sweet love!
My lovely little trouble!
Who else could make me blossom,
My root?
My breath gets caught
My heart stumbles
Now that I am yours,
I show off just a little
Even our shadows cling together
Do not let go of my hand
Holding you close, my heart
melts with deep love, my beauty
O river, a river of sweet love!
My lovely little trouble!
Who else could make me blossom,
My root?
O river, overflowing river of milk!
My chariot of flowers!
You walk past, taking me captive,
O name that holds me prisoner...
