ALL FOR YOU 

Smooth opal clarity 
beyond the horizon, 
It is in the sea breeze 
and can be seen on the mountain. 

As a bright coral 
at the bottom of the sea, 
you're so wonderful 
I can not explain that. 

As the finest pearl 
more beautiful and more valuable, 
so is your face divine; 
I do not think about anything else. 

Wherever you are you see, 
I miss you every day, 
you know I think about you, 
singing by you and by you I cry. 

I look forward to you 
until the day I die 
and you follow me 
the same fate.
