As deep as the mountains are high,
As fierce as the rivers are wide,
So is my love for you;
The trees sway beneath the might of the wind,
Leaves blow to and fro, told when to bend,
So is the power of your smile;
Loud is the clap of the thunder bolt,
Joyous is the morning singing of the bird,
So is the effect of your laugh;
As soft as the new tide wanes,
As gentle is the butterfly,
So is your touch upon my skin;
Your love is better than all of this,
Sweeter than the honey from a bee,
Please, don’t ever leave me.
