In this quiet solitude,
like the art where poetry and music unite,
in this quiet solitude,
like the art where poetry and music unite,
in this quiet solitude,
with sincere love in my heart,
I rejoice, my love,
like a bee drawn to honey...
with sincere love in my heart,
I rejoice, my love,
like a bee drawn to honey.
Because my good fortune
stands right before me,
and we are brought together as one,
everything has turned so sweet.
In this quiet solitude,
like the art where poetry and music unite,
in this quiet solitude,
is this the reward of my life,
or a blessing from days gone by?
Is this the fruit of my love's devotion?
Is this the reward of my life,
or a blessing from days gone by?
Is this the fruit of my love's devotion?
A flower has blossomed,
is this the beloved of my heart,
seeking me on this blessed day?
In this quiet solitude,
like the art where poetry and music unite,
in this quiet solitude,
forgetting my very body and soul,
in your love and longing from now on,
I shall live in joyful bliss.
Yes, forgetting my very body and soul,
in your love and longing from now on,
I shall live in joyful bliss.
