formosa English Lyrics

O beautiful peasant girl
with gentle killing eyes
come to brighten my sorrow
come to brighten my sorrow
with the light of your eyes

Show me the flowery path
that leads to your love
your hug is my home
your hug is my home
I am a blind man without light

You, barefoot and smiling,
traversing hills and valleys
let me follow in your footsteps
let me follow in your footsteps
let me forget my ills

Take me by your hand
to the tranquility of the mountains
the city takes me all
the city takes me all
saddening the earth20

I want to be for you
like Jacob for Rachel
I want to die at your feet
I want to die at your feet
as your most faithful dog
