In the countryside of a foreign land,
A pair of lovers plays happily,
Welcomed by strangers
In their warm embrace.
In the countryside of a foreign land,
A pair of lovers plays happily,
Welcomed by strangers
In their warm embrace.
Where daylight cannot enter,
In the sweet comfort of this forest night,
Shall I celebrate and enjoy?
In the countryside of a foreign land,
A pair of lovers plays happily,
Welcomed by strangers
In their warm embrace.
As these days of being together
Caress gently like a peacock feather,
Upon a river, on a river,
Oh, my heart floats along.
Like a flower fallen into the stream,
As my heart follows your path,
In your gentle pleading and sweet pampering,
Deep fondness is born.
There is nothing of my own
In this world of mine;
My heart is born anew every day
In thoughts of you.
This moment, this sweet moment,
This moment, this sweet moment,
Is more than enough for me.
In the countryside of a foreign land,
A pair of lovers plays happily,
Welcomed by strangers
In their warm embrace.
In the countryside of a foreign land,
A pair of lovers plays happily,
Welcomed by strangers
In their warm embrace.
Taking the light of the moon
And wearing it like a sari,
Enchanted by your beauty,
My heart is lost in your beauty.
A quiet enchantment,
A closeness merged into your soul,
Trembling, my body is trembling,
My body trembles a little.
A little in your body, a little in your soul,
Shall I hide myself?
Cherishing this world that belongs to you too,
Shall I wander through it?
This colorful youth and growing dream,
This colorful youth and growing dream,
Are searching for wings.
In the countryside of a foreign land,
A pair of lovers plays happily,
Welcomed by strangers
In their warm embrace.
Where daylight cannot enter,
In the sweet comfort of this forest night,
Shall I celebrate and enjoy?
In the countryside of a foreign land,
A pair of lovers plays happily,
Welcomed by strangers
In their warm embrace.
