Ini andu la vi nai
sami andu la vi nai
maka mela maniyanda
e liando avidai, avidai.

Lovesong
Lovesong
I would I were a flower
and you would come silently,
and to own me, you would
keep me captured in your hand.
I also would i were red wine,
flowing sweetly through your mouth,
entirely inside of you,
soothing you, soothing me.
Translation of Hermann Hesse's 'Lovesong' (Liebeslied)
