Come, my king, hold me in your arms
As honey wells up in the rose
I trembled in pleasure for a day, come, oh come...
Come, my king, hold me in your arms
As honey wells up in the rose
I trembled in pleasure for a day, come, oh come...
I am here... where are you, who gave me a taste of pleasure?
Where is the flower that was broken?
Where are you to lull me to sleep?
The river of youth flowed that day
Nowhere in sight today
Will it flow again, or will love fade away?
Joy... supreme bliss... will it not return?
Come, my king, hold me in your arms
As honey wells up in the rose
I trembled in pleasure for a day, hey hey
Come, oh come...
Days have passed...
Even my nerves have caught fire
My youth burns with heat today
Every night is wasted away
Both my eyes find no sleep...
Oh, this torment of love
Desire intoxicates me, come hold me close
In the rushing pulse of my blood, I have gone mad
Come, my king, hold me in your arms
As honey wells up in the rose
I trembled in pleasure for a day, come, oh come...
Come, my king, hold me in your arms
As honey wells up in the rose
I trembled in pleasure for a day, hey hey
Come, oh come...
