Oh warrior of the South
I will live only for you
Oh warrior of the South
I will live only for you
Your heart...
Open it just a little
Inside it,
I will hide myself
Oh warrior of the South
I will live only for you
Oh warrior of the South
I will live only for you
I long for it, I need it
All I need is a place in your heart
It is enough, so enough
Just a glimpse of your gaze is enough
I long for it, I need it
All I need is a place in your heart
It is enough, so enough
Just a glimpse of your gaze is enough
Oh warrior of the South
I will live only for you
Chorus: I will live
Female: Oh warrior of the South
I will live only for you
Chorus: I will live
I yearned, I longed
Night after night, I longed for you
I carried you, I held you
I held you deep inside my heart
I yearned, I longed
Night after night, I longed for you
I carried you, I held you
I held you deep inside my heart
Oh warrior of the South
I will live only for you
Chorus: I will live
Female: Oh warrior of the South
I will live only for you
Chorus: I will live
As I become the clouds
And you live as the earth
As I become the clouds
And you live as the earth
I will shower upon you like rain
And make my home inside you
I will shower upon you like rain
And make my home inside you
If you simply draw me into you
And live with me, that is enough
Oh warrior of the South
I will live only for you
