My Eternal Beating Drum
written by: Walid Boureghda
All through your fiery eyes
I behold all the world.
All through your soothing heart,
I feel your love, unfurled.
Whene’er I touch your hair,
I feel the world’s mildness.
Whene’er my heart quivers,
My mind meets your kindness.
I always get flustered
When you are next to me.
I always get flustered
When your lips set mine free.
Whene’er you kiss my lips,
You make the earth tremble.
When your lips are on mine,
They would rarely dissemble.
Dear, you can ne’er conceive
How much I do love you,
And how much you make me
See all my dreams as true.
My life is worth nothing
If you bid me farewell.
I can’t live without you:
You’re my home where I dwell.
You’re simply my breathing air:
My precious sugar plum!
You’re my warm-hearted wife,
My eternal beating drum.
