I’ll Instruct My Heart

You’re not stranger to me, a warm hand,

Not only mouth but also tongue to me,

You’re smiling and and funny,

I’ll instruct my heart; as to how it is to bend

With respect always in front of you.

You’re both my light and sun,

In my prayings my desire,

You’re my darling, life, angel,

I’ll instruct my heart; as to how it is to bend

With respect always in front of you.
