Moonlight Melodies

She:
Where have You hidden my Love
Why cover Your face with a veil
I kept on searching but in vain
My soul is groaning, I am in pain.

I thirst for Your tender kisses
I long to feel Your warm embrace
Come, refresh my parched lips
Caress my heart that weeps.

Have You forgotten the promises of love
Why do You run away like a wild stag
Oh, day and night my heart quivers
My tears flow like a mighty river.

Oh, sun and moon have you seen my Beloved
Breath of my soul, on your chest i want lay my head
Oh, clouds and stars in heaven above
Tell Him the moaning of His little dove

Chorus:
Hush now, oh little dove
Dry your tears, here comes your Love
He comes in a parade of lamps
To His Father's house, He'll take you dear little lamb.

He:
Shhh, hush oh my precious swallow
I see with your tears you bedew your pillow
Your almond eyes are tired of weeping
Come.. I'll quench your longing.

Lay down your head on my breast
Feel the tenderness and warmth of my chest
Within my arms I will shower you with kisses
Your heart I will flood with a thousand caresses.

Your moaning I heard from my Father's dwelling
The wind whispered to me your groaning
But I withdrew that you may long for more of me
The fire of your love may grow more intensely.

I hid my face that you may look at me in your heart
And know that my Spirit in you never departs
My love has always guided you
Come to me now, my beautiful little ewe.

He and She:
Love has bonded our worlds
And in love... everything we will hold
I promise you my love and its fidelity
I will love you from beginning till eternity.
