Her loving melody that tames the woods in me,
Her plummeting petals that scents the caves in me,
Her tender tenderness that softens the rocks in me,
Her love from beyond beyond.
A damsel with glowing locks and skin of gold,
For her, I'll tread the sands of Arabian night,
Why does my heart feel so cold,
I'm no god, I'm no knight.
A warm breeze in summer,
A cold chill in spring,
A thick fur in winter,
It's all in a year.
I was walking down a dark boulevard,
Walking down a dark blind alley,
Her light shone down the yard,
I retraced my way,
A year is gone,
Reminiscing on the eons of her bliss,
On the love that has come,
On her tender lips to kiss.
Is the sun awake or beneath the eyes of the moon?
Are the stars twinkling or out soon?
All that do not matter anymore,
As I woken from my slumber tour.
I have neither silver nor gold ,
I have neither riches nor wealth,
All I have is her light at the end of my tunnel,
All I can give is love for another year .
