Would you know
What emotions flow inside my heart
Like a torrential river
Rushing through rocky mountains?
Would you know
What depths of despair
Are hidden behind
This cheerful aspect of mine?
Would you know
Within this craggy growth of rock
Which I call my heart
What feelings you inspire?
Would you know?
Would you really know?

Would you know
That your blushing smile
Heralds happiness for me
Like the koel’s song in spring?
Would you know
That your ringing laughter
Falls upon my ears
Like raindrops on the scorched earth?
Would you know
That your happy thoughts
Sustain me throughout
Many a tormented night?
Would you know?
Would you really know?

Would you know
That those dark emeralds
Which you call your eyes
Shine all the way to my heart?
Would you know
That your happy countenance
Lights up my days
Like the sun behind the clouds?
Would you know
That your soft touch
Falls upon me
Like satin upon my awaiting skin?
Would you know?
Would you really know?

Ask your heart,
Ask your mind and soul,
Look deep inside yourself
And look deep into my eyes;
Then, you shall surely know.
