O AHUVATI
OH MY BELOVED
HOY AHUVATI DANCEOH MY LOVE
Oy my beloved I became an adult child I promised you we'd grow old together. Oy my beloved I played you on every string And together we overcame the fear. My beloved, I am not broken I planted a flower in the desert And you always brought the rain with you. My love, it's not over It's just starting, I'm staying Love is like wheat to bread. Oy my beloved I left in you my youth And it will be written about me forever. Oy my beloved tell me where until when Lovers will be able to sleep securely. My love it's not over I'm never broken Even when the sun is not always shining. My love with white neck And that sounds pretty familiar to you Even on days like this you forgive. Instrumental passage My beloved, I am not broken I planted a flower in the desert And you always brought the rain with you. My love, it's not over It's just starting, I'm staying Love is like wheat to bread. Oy my love we have come a long way There were paths here and there we made a mistake. Oy my love we planted a green road Whole nights, hard days we saw. My lovely lover Suddenly another year passed for her See that in the future it will be okay. My beloved you understand That to destroy it takes a minute But love repairs every fracture. Oy my beloved I became an adult child I promised you we'd grow old together.
