With her eyes, a love letter...

She wrote with sweet desire.

To meet in this colorful garden at dusk,

Ho ho... Mmm...

To listen to the little cuckoo's song...

Ha ha ha ha...

Her gaze sparkling like dewdrops,

Speaking words as sweet as fruit,

Her gaze sparkling like dewdrops,

Speaking words as sweet as fruit,

I fell in love with this living sculpture,

I found poetry in her smile.

This is the evening's sweet enchantment,

It will last as long as we live.

This is the evening's sweet enchantment,

It will last as long as we live.

If asked where the limits of love lie,

There are simply no words to tell.

Across your gaze, I walked,

In your arms, I rested,

Like a flower, I bloomed,

Onto your lap, I fell,

We can bathe in the cool waters!

To gently embrace each other,

To learn brand new lessons of love,

As lips quench our thirst,

As our deep passion ripens,

At first, shyness holds us back,

Hiding the face and acting coy,

Longing awakens in the heart,

And in the end, gives everything away.

Shyness will fade away,

Heaven will be understood,

The path will become clear,

The journey will go on,

We can fly away together!
