We kiss in a shadow, 
We hide from the moon, 
Our meetings are few,
And over too soon. 
We speak in a whisper, 
Afraid to be heard; 
When people are near, 
We speak not a word. 
Alone in our secret, 
Together we sigh, 
For one smiling day to be free 
To kiss in the sunlight 
And say to the sky: 
"Behold and believe what you see! 
Behold how my lover loves me!" 

Tuptim: 
We speak in a whisper, 
Afraid to be heard; 
When people are near, 

Lun Tha: 
We speak not a word. 
Alone in our secret, 
Together we sigh, 
For one smiling day to be free 

Both: 
To kiss in the sunlight 
And say to the sky: 
"Behold and believe what you see! 
Behold how my lover loves me!" 

Tuptim: 
To kiss in the sunlight 
And say to the sky: 
"Behold and believe what you see! 
Behold how my lover loves me
