📜 Lyrics
You are so beautiful, you are so beautiful
If ever I were to say that I love you
Then please, I beg you, do not misunderstand me
That I need you, you are so beautiful
Your arms are like branches laden with flowers
Your eyes hold a silent magic
Let me gather all the thorns into my own garment
And pave your paths with buds
To guard yourself from the world's gaze
Do not give your heart to another
That you are my trust
You are so beautiful
Your face is like golden daylight
Your face is like golden daylight
And over it this vigil of dark clouds
A body delicate and fragrant as roses
These lips of yours are like a blooming garden
If you were to let loose your curls, the clouds would be ashamed
Even angels seeing you would go mad
That pure form, you are so beautiful
You, who as a bud often smiles
You, who in nights of separation often makes me weep
You, who can change the world in mere moments
You, who can give the poet the very soul of verse
What you wish to hide cannot be hidden
What you wish to forget cannot be forgotten
You are my first love, you are so beautiful
