Like a golden sunset cloud,
The beautiful girl who appeared before me,
Blowing love into my heart,
A beauty like a gentle drizzle.
Riding high upon my thoughts,
A handsome man who journeys,
Bound by no limits,
My handsome one.
Thinking of you brings sweet turmoil,
It is an ocean of love.
Female: Your fragrance sweeps over me,
Like a drizzle that touches.
A union made of memories,
It brushes past again and again,
It teases and slays me in waves,
Your intoxication completely takes me over.
Should I call it loneliness,
Or is it heartache?
Yet I want it forever.
By your side appear
Wonders so very beautiful,
And all kinds of new feelings.
A flash of lightning in the eyes, that is your body,
I realized this, my dear.
You once said that a flash of lightning as a woman
Would never fade away.
Even to the blowing wind,
I would say it has a form.
Isn't it your gentle breeze, just like you,
That changes shape to touch me?
When I am walking on a straight path,
Don't push me into the turns.
Female: That is enough, my love,
Don't shower any more poetry.
Hey, when the joy of seeing you from afar
Already slays me,
The joy of seeing you up close is heaven itself!
For hearts that rush like floods,
Won't they clash and join together?
It works magic without leaving any wounds.
In all my blood, every single day,
You are the humming buzz echoing.
Holding my beginning and my end,
You are my entire world.
In all my glances and my words,
You are the source that shines through.
Where I fly away on wings,
You are that boundless sky.
Just to give a gentle touch,
Won't you come to my side?
Male: Surging like an arrow,
Won't you give me your boundless love?
Without feeling any need
To weigh or bargain,
You lifted my burden, my other half.
A wordless
Language—can't you hear it,
Even without meeting, as our two souls
Speak to each other?
Pouring honey from the corner of her eyes,
A beauty riding a chariot of love,
A beauty nourishing the thoughts deep in my heart.
Oh, with sweet thoughts,
A handsome man who touches me,
A handsome man sparking electricity through my body.
Thinking of you brings sweet turmoil,
It is an ocean of love.
Female: Your fragrance sweeps over me,
Like a drizzle that touches.
A union made of memories,
It brushes past again and again,
It teases and slays me in waves,
Your intoxication completely takes me over.
