YOUR WAYS GLADDEN MY HEART ALWAYS

My heart,

Your ways gladden my heart ever and anon,

The way you set me to dance always

Whenever I remember you, I feel like jumping

Because I love you.

I hope you are aware that I was doused by rain while waiting for you?

I was sun-scorched but remained unruffled,

Because I love you

Just like butterfly loves flower

Just like moth loves fire.

Come and kiss me.

I want us to be locked in embrace.

I want you to lay your head on my body

So that we stay together and watch the sky

See how it radiates in blue!

Sweet breeze and fragrance waft from flowers

They gladden my heart.

Come oh lady, my stunning beauty, the one whose waist can make one kill a goat,

Will you marry me?
