Hands cling to hands and eyes lingerA
on eyes thus begins the record of ourA
heartsB
It is the moonlit night of MarchC
the sweet smell of henna is in the airD
my flute lies on the earth neglectedE
and your garland of flowers isF
unfinishedG
This love between you and me isF
simple as a songH
Your veil of the saffron colourD
makes my eyes drunkI
The jasmine wreath that you woveJ
me thrills to my heart like praiseK
It is a game of giving and withL
holding revealing and screening againM
some smiles and some little shynessN
and some sweet useless strugglesO
This love between you and me isF
simple as a songH
No mystery beyond the presentP
no striving for the impossible noQ
shadow behind the charm no gropingR
in the depth of the darkS
This love between you and me isF
simple as a songH
We do not stray out of all wordsT
into the ever silent we do not raiseK
our hands to the void for thingsU
beyond hopeV
It is enough what we give and weW
getX
We have not crushed the joy toY
the utmost to wring from it the wineZ
of painA2
This love between you and me isF
simple as a songH
