Letra
Love me, love me, love me, love meSay you doLet me fly awayWith youFor my love is likeThe windAnd wild is the windWild is the wind
Give me moreThan one caressSatisfy thisHungrinessLet the windBlow through your heartFor wild is the windWild is the wind
YouTouch meI hear the soundOf mandolinsYouKiss meWith your kissMy life beginsYou're spring to meAll thingsTo me
Don't you know you'reLife itself
Like a leaf clingsTo the treeOh my darling,Cling to meFor we're like creaturesOf the windWild is the windWild is the wind
YouTouch meI hear the soundOf mandolinsYouKiss meWith your kissMy life beginsYou're spring to meAll thingsTo me
Don't you know you'reLife itself
Like a leaf clingsTo the treeOh my darling,Cling to meFor we're like creaturesIn the windAnd wild is the windWild is the wind
Wild is the windWild is the windWild is the wind
