Translation:

Darling you make me feel like a little child
Honey you make me listen to what you say and I obey
Darling you inspire me to create every time you smile
Produce and write beautiful literature
You drive me wild with your endless love
You spoil me with your tender kisses
When you lay me down I lose my mind
Darling you turn me into a beautiful flower that you water with your love
Honey you fly me like a kite
You reel me back in when the going gets tough
You make me a Queen on your chessboard 
Nature responds every time our eyes meet
You appease my fire with your love
Your touch always keeps me warm

Ou Fè'm
