Do not hide, sweetheart, do not hide
The gray color of your hair,
Do not dye it,
Do not feel shy of it.
I did not love you, sweetheart,
For the blackness of your hair,
Or the blueness of your eyes,
Or the redness of your cheeks.
I loved you, sweetheart, and I still,
And I will love you
For the youth in your heart.
In my eyes, you look now,
And you will look tomorrow
As you looked yesterday.
You are a lotus flower
At the bank of a river
That flows now and forever
Deep, deep, within my heart.
I love you, I love you, sweetheart,
For the youth in your heart,
For the endlessness in your spirit,
For the eternity in your soul.
