Love Speaks All Languages
written by: Mike Henry
‘Je t’aime’ he whispered with passion
By the Seine with the moon bright above
It sounded so very romantic
French, they say, is the language of love
‘Ti amo’ declared the young Roman
As he courted his lady so sweet
Mario, though, was a real gigolo
And Maria he’d met on the street!
‘Ich liebe dich’ said Fritz to his fraulein
With earnest and serious intent
‘Ve shall march to ze bedroom heute Abend
Unt zen you vill know vhat I meant!’
In Japan it is rather a mouthful
When expressing so deep an emotion
‘Watashi wa, anata o aishiteimasu’ though,
Is always said with devotion
‘Se agap-o’ is Greek for ‘I love you’
And the Ancients knew all the joys
Of loving and how to have fun times
Especially the men and the boys!
But whatever the language that’s spoken
Whatever the country or clime
Love’s an eternal emotion
And we’ll express it time after time.
