LET MY HANDS STAY IN YOUR HANDS

Separation descended on us like a downpour

We were crippled by the bends from our left side

We were deprived of a great love we experienced

We lost the blue color of the sea and the sky

 

Jovial laughter used to fly about in our eyes

We were as excited as in our first rendezvous

The river of our hearts used to purl

If only you know how great cold was your absence

 

You arrived soaring in the end along with the migrant birds

We are joyful for finding love again

As our blood is going to boil up through the awakening of nature

We seem like lily-white flowers blooming on a twig

 

At one of our side, lilies, magnolias do flower

At the other side of us roses, reddish orange, bougainvillea

Your smiling eyes look at love passionately

A carnation burnt in love is on your lips

 

We are filled with peace inside and our face is bright

We enjoy a fresh spring with woodnotes

The days full of longing were left in faraway places

Now we are as happy as in our first days

 

O sweetheart, your absence was hardly bearable

Let living with you be our craziest dance

Come on, hold them so tight with love and desire

Let my hands stay in your hands forever more
