Your  voice, your perfume, your hair, your hand touch,


everything calls to me I see in you the mother of my children,



I smell in you the scent of my homeland and my people



I know that the sun is reborn


beyond the blue sea when it dies here



I know you'll be my future after my past disappears in your sea



When I say "I love you" my heart expands to include the entire universe


and then shrinks




I build a castle of longing on fine sand, and it is never


inhabited I dream of you,



I hope the dream gets. bigger and comes true Build my house,


by your fair hands,



a small house becomes the fairest of all Oh how I would like a little


house and you loving me,



nothing more With the windows of affection wide


open and the doors of confusion locked Your heartbeat outlines my heart,




your life takes my own life and your path is mine I long for your face



to protect me from all lying faces


When I say "I love you" my heart expands to include the entire universe


and then shrinks I build a castle of longing on fine sand,


and it is never inhabited I dream of you,




I hope the dream gets bigger and comes true Build my house, by your

fair hands, a small house becomes the fairest of all.
