My Sweetheart

So often when I am embracing you,
It seems that you exist in this world,
Only because of me and I exist because of you.

It's not easy to wander in this world,
And not lose one's way,
But the greatest happiness of all,
Is in giving joy to one's beloved.

And if the king can have his throne,
And if the bird can have his spring nest,
And God can have his heaven,
Then, I my sweetheart, I can have you!
