I breathe your sweet breath
which comes forth from your mouth;
when I am reborn each day;
I behold your beauty every day./
[every new day I behold your beauty.]
I long for the sweetness of your voice,
like a taste of the northern breeze./
[It’s my desire that I may hear your sweet voice,
even in the North Wind]
Love shall bring life to my limbs.
which comes forth from your mouth;
when I am reborn each day;
I behold your beauty every day./
[every new day I behold your beauty.]
I long for the sweetness of your voice,
like a taste of the northern breeze./
[It’s my desire that I may hear your sweet voice,
even in the North Wind]
Love shall bring life to my limbs.
Give me your hands, holding your soul, I shall embrace it and live.
Speak my name, again and forever:
it shall not sound without answer.
Speak my name, again and forever:
it shall not sound without answer.
Give me your hands, holding your soul,
I shall embrace it and live.
Speak my name, [my love] again, [my love] and forever, [my love]
it shall not sound without answer
my love [my love] my love [my love] my love [my love] my love
love love.
I shall embrace it and live.
Speak my name, [my love] again, [my love] and forever, [my love]
it shall not sound without answer
my love [my love] my love [my love] my love [my love] my love
love love.
