[English]

Kiss me

Out of the bearded barley

Nightly

Beside the green, green grass

Swing, swing

Swing the spinning step

You wear those shoes

And I will wear that dress

Oh, oh

Kiss me

Beneath the milky twilight

Lead me

Out on the moonlit floor

Lift your open hand

Strike up the band

And make the fireflies dance

Silver moon's sparkling

...

So kiss me

...

Kiss me

Down by the broken tree house

Swing me

High upon its hanging tyre

Bring, bring

Bring your flowered hat

We'll take the trail marked on your

Father's map

Oh, oh

Kiss me

Beneath the milky twilight

Lead me

Out on the moonlit floor

Lift your open hand

Strike up the band

And make the fireflies dance

Silver moon's sparkling

So kiss me

...

Kiss me

Beneath the milky twilight

Lead me

Out on the moonlit floor

Lift your open hand

Strike up the band

And make the fireflies dance

Silver moon's sparkling

So kiss me

...

So kiss me

...

So kiss me

...

So kiss me

...
