Who is he, oh who is he?
Is he the root of my blooming flowers?
He has won over my womanhood,
This man filled with love.
I am the one who melts in your love,
I am the one who freezes in your gaze,
As a constant shadow along your path,
I am the one who walks with you.
He is the rain in my summer,
He is the sunshine in my winter chill,
From just a glance of the eyes, what I need,
He understands.
Where should I take you?
Whisper it softly into my ear.
For my womanhood to rest peacefully,
A place on your chest is enough.
Why is the distance between us fading today?
Slowly, our hearts are joining together.
Your fingers
Are asking for mine.
Who is he, oh who is he?
Is he the root of my blooming flowers?
He has won over my womanhood,
This man filled with love.
When your breath touches me,
Why does my shyness lose its battle?
Whenever your fragrance reaches me,
Why do my thoughts completely change?
A single leaf falls into the river,
Drifting and floating along the waves.
Will it reach the shore, or reach your hands,
In our future?
He was born just for me,
He will come just to protect me.
He has won over my womanhood,
This man filled with love.
He is the rain in my summer,
He is the sunshine in my winter chill,
From just a glance of the eyes, what I need,
He understands.
