My sweet love
You are always with me
I have fed you the most succulent of foods
And clothed you in the most expensive brocades

Oh, what a lunatic love!
G-d, help me...

There are those who don't understand
The nature of my lunatic love

Oh, what a lunatic love!
G-d, help me...

I made you swear,
For days and nights
That you would explain, once and for all,
What is happening, happening to us?

Oh, what a lunatic love!
G-d, help me...

There are those who are jealous
That I am all-important to you

Oh, what a lunatic love!
G-d, help me...

You are my special love,
And you revealed to me the secrets of love
You are the center of my thoughts
and imagination
I have no interest in any other.

Oh, what a lunatic love!
G-d, help me...
