Lyrics:

My dear
your love is appreciated

My dear
your love is appreciated

I won’t love anyone but you
even if they cut me into pieces

I won’t love anyone but you
even if they cut me into pieces

Come to me flower seller
how much for this rose

Come to me flower seller
how much for this rose

It will be for my beloved
bed of lovers for the first time

It will be for my beloved
bed of lovers for the first time

Its pair of breasts are great already
conferring in secret to run away

Its pair of breasts are great already
conferring in secret to run away

Place your hand as complementary
and help her forget

Place your hand as complementary
and help her forget

My beloved, the soul of my life
reveal your home to me please

My beloved, the soul of my life
reveal your home to me please

And I shall call all my days
from the veil of darkness

And I shall call all my days
from the veil of darkness

My beautiful, reveal your ear
and I’ll softly whisper you a secret

My beautiful, reveal your ear
and I’ll softly whisper you a secret

If only the beloved of your heart would run away
and I will be your vantage point.

If only the beloved of your heart would run away
and I will be your vantage point.

Come to me flower seller
take this rose

Come to me flower seller
take this rose

It cried to my beloved
the first pain

It cried to my beloved
the first pain
