[English]

Let me get to know you

Let me dream

Live a moment

Of happiness

Let me kiss you

With all this love

I want to know you

Feel your warmth

Come, come my love

Come, come to me

We’ll be very happy

You’re mine and I’m yours

Loving is so easy

Someone like you

Skin to skin, united

Dreaming together

Watching the rain

Fall from the sky

Thinking the world

Is only ours

Come, come my love

Come, come to me

We’ll be very happy

You’re mine and I’m yours

Come, come my love

Come, come to me

We’ll be very happy

You’re mine and I’m yours

Come, come my love

Come, come to me

We’ll be very happy

You’re mine and I’m yours
