I have taken you in my arms
I prefer you to my life itself
For I love you, I love youAnd my most ardent dream
Is to spend my days in such a way
To be near you, to be near youI have placed your love above all things
And nothing would be more bitter to me
Than to be of a different mind than you
Than to be of a different mindI have placed your love above all things
And nothing would be more painful to me
Than to be of a different heart than you
Than to be of a different heart
I love youI have taken you in my heart
I prefer you to all else
Because I love youAnd together we in prayer
Beseech the blessing we will share
I love you, I love youAnd this present life is nothing
Without knowing that we're loving
I am here to live for you, here to live with you
For I love youI love youI love youI have placed your love above all things
And nothing would be more bitter to me
Than to be of a different mind than you
Than to be of a different mindI have placed your love above all things
And nothing would be more painful to me
Than to be of a different heart than you
Than to be of a different heart
'Cause I love you
