I’m thirsty,
I need you to quench it,
Like a sinner longing for light,
Come closer my shining pearl,
Come closer,
In the darkness, I’ll be your candle,
In all seasons I’ll be with you,
Just like leaves on trees.
Come closer,
Come I kiss your lips,
For it, I’m starving,
It’s like food to me.
Come closer by going,
I’m your old baby boy,
Come and feed me,
Come, I wanna play with your twins.
