Translation (by supertitlist Thomas Getty):
I look like the moon goddess,
who comes down from the bridge of heaven.

She captivates every heart.

She enfolds them in her white cloak
and takes them back to the heavens.

You still haven't told me you love me.
Does the goddess know the words
that soothe a burning desire?

She does, but she doesn't want to say them,
for fear she may die.

A foolish fear! Love doesn't kill, it gives life!
Love smiles for heavenly joy.
It shines in your lovely eyes.

Now you are everything to me.
I loved you when first I saw you.
You are tall and strong, you laugh so easily.
You tell me things I've never heard before.
I am so happy.
