translation
truth is my love existed
right here beside me
I hid your cheeks
with both my cold hands
as though the long journey ended
within quiet peace,
I mourned for you
and wept just a little
Gloria
the whole world is nothing
and the afternoon sunlight is bright
the song of happiness echoes
and the lark on the hill shines
I'll go with you
I'll go on this hill road
step on the grass
that smells sweet enough to choke you
like a round instrument
that took the shape of fruit
the sadness and joy you play
shake me to the bone
now pain and comfort
made me a heart
that can love you
Gloria
surely something gentle
exists here
and sings the song of happiness
I'll go to that fleeting moment
for my love and hopes
and for my tears and sacrifice
going through the beginning
of dazzling night and day
