Scent of Jasmine

As fair maidens begin to swoon
 courtships light love's passionate  fuse
And love becomes a flower in bloom

Hearts  become more enthused
 While lovers  kiss under starry skies
 courtships light love's passionate  fuse

Scent of jasmine starts to rise
Like sweet perfume on moonlit nights
While lovers  kiss  under starry skies

 Their passions become pure delight
As hearts entwine with sweet desire
Like sweet perfume on moonlit nights

Burning passions set the velvet sky  on fire
Lovers are absorbed with new sensations
As hearts entwine with sweet desire

Spring brings love's pleasant  vibrations
As fair maidens begin to swoon
Lovers are absorbed with new sensations
And  love becomes a flower in bloom
