My One True Love - Petra Berger, Johann Sebastian Bach

Aren’t we really a pair

Aren’t we perfectly set into tune?

You go around in circles,

I follow, sometimes losing sight of where you’re going,

But my love remains unchanged…

Gently, you sing me to sleep,

Gently, you tell me how deeply you appreciate my love and caring

You are wearing all the smiles I gave to you, waves of you,

Keep pounding at my shore,

See how they tantalize and lure me,

In the maze you’ve chosen to exist in,

I will stand beside you

Follow you and guide you,

Tell you softly how I love you.

Aren’t you really a pair?

Aren’t you crazy to constantly revolve around each other,

Though it seems impossible to love you,

She could never love another,

Time will surely take you far from me,

Take me now before the moment passes…

Come, sweetly

Come, strongly,

My one and only one true love…
