The night is here, dark and silent.
Not a sound around, not a soul near.
But my heart is awake and violent,
For my beloved is nowhere near!
I look here, there and everywhere.
No sign of my love; not even a hint.
My mind and heart shout louder,
But will she recognize them distinct?
I seem lost without her around.
Rudderless I am, devoid of direction.
All around, darkness seems to surround,
I wonder if she will ever know my affection!
My heart is praying for an early dawn.
I can then go and look for her.
I wish and I hope until then,
That her love for me doesn't disappear!
When the sun is up and my day awakens
I will take off my heart's cover.
Before the next night darkens,
I want to become her's, for now and ever.
