Is everything a lie

on this earth, except for love?

Are you truly my life?

I am alive only because of you.

Love took form within me,

yet drifted away like music in the breeze.

This has never happened before,

where is the limit to this feeling?

Won't you give me an answer, my love?

In your deep silence,

the words meant for me,

searching for them brought me sweet joy;

I found it, yes I found it, my love.

Though countless hearts

live across this world,

as the one heart meant for me,

I found you, yes I found you.

Is everything a lie

on this earth, except for love?

Are you truly my life?

I am alive only because of you.

Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...

Mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm... mmm...

Just having you is enough

for me, my love.

With your warm embrace,

take my breath away, my love.

A gentle daze,

a little hesitation,

both are sweet gifts

given by love.

A little closeness,

a tight embrace,

both are gifts

a woman longs for.

As all my desires

flow toward you,

without making a sound,

all words fade away and die.

Like a gentle drizzle

falling upon sleeping eyes,

I feel it as our distance melts away.

Within my private room,

shedding the veil of clothes,

I blossom and unfold.

In your deep silence,

the words meant for me,

searching for them brought me sweet joy;

I found it, yes I found it, my love.

Though countless hearts

live across this world,

as the one heart meant for me,

I found you, yes I found you.
