Come propose me and bring the ring,
I’ve been ready for a long time,
You know I’m hoping for you.
Don’t let others beg me,
You know I’m yours and belong to you.
I’ve been waiting for you for a long time, looking for you,
Don’t be late come to my gate.
It would be hard for you if I wasn’t yours,
Come propose me before the dawn.
You can’t live without me,
I know it’s hard for you, it’s the same for me,
I don’t tell anyone.
We’ve waited a long time for the time to come,
To give you my love forever.
Happiness had left us a long time ago,
But there is someone who assigns it to us.
No one can ever stand in our way,
We have never been happy until now.
I’m always ready waiting for you,
Don’t be late, come just at dawn.
You’ve a long way to go, you’ve to be on time.
I’ve been waiting for you at my window for a long time.
….
