I thought love was mute
Until I heard you laugh
Suddenly I realised
That love had a sound.Your voice feels like the promise of tomorrow
A bit of love and affection, I have borrowed
That eloquent tongue takes away all of my sorrow
My vocal chords are hollow.You look like an angel when you laugh
There's nothing that compares to you
Mirroring the whole world’s heart
When in front of you, I don't even want to start.Your voice is a forest
And I am the lost wanderer
The more I find myself
The more I get fond of you.There's no one who can make that smile disappear
Besides yourself
For if there's anyone out there
I'll make sure they're away.Your voice is my favourite song
The melody never leaves my head
Rather than listening to my family
I would listen to you.Sometimes laughter remains as a mystery
Because at times, you laugh in misery
On the thought of cruel history
Or a future that is distilling.I'd still thank you if you took me as a joke
As for once, I will be the reason for that smile
Once again, giving myself false hopes
That there was still something left.
