Won't you come, won't you come to fall in love?
There is no breeze that does not speak to a flower.
Why wasn't this love here yesterday?
Tell me, my heart.
Won't you come, won't you come, my Mona Lisa?
Without speaking, your eyes talk so softly.
Every day, I am your prince of love.
Come with me every day.
Come with me every day.
Right here, I am your Marilyn Monroe.
I am a flower held in your hands.
All our love is pure honey.
Oh flower, you are an intoxicating lesson.
My heart races like the wind.
My loving eyes search for you.
Ho ho ho...
Playful games of love,
play them morning and evening.
I marveled at your sculpted beauty with my eyes.
Dance along with him, Cinderella!
Won't you come, won't you come to fall in love?
There is no breeze that does not speak to a flower.
Why wasn't this love here yesterday?
Tell me, my heart.
Tell me, my heart.
You are the very image of Juliet.
Your embrace is where we unite,
we do not need lovers' quarrels anymore.
A fire, a fire, I am...
...a sweet, burning fire.
Kiss me tenderly,
dive for pearls upon my lips.
You, you, you are my fair lady!
Come, come, come, my love!
The very first love melody I ever composed,
you are the foundational note to it...
Won't you come, won't you come, my Mona Lisa?
Without speaking, your eyes talk so softly.
Every day, I am your prince of love.
Come with me every day.
Come with me every day.
Come with me every day.
