Translation: Verse 1: On the beach, the white sand The soft pale moon is shining down The sea gently kisses the shore We dance together, our love alive Chorus: Dance, dance in the pale moonlight The waves sing softly for us Our bodies sway with the breeze In this night, we are dreaming together Verse 2: The flowers bloom in our hands The gentle breeze caresses our faces The foam grows on the sand We share the love of this land Bridge: O little sea, bring life To our love that grows here The moon keeps our affection forever Until eternity, we shall remain Final Chorus: Dance... dance... in the pale moonlight The sea kisses... our love... On the beach... under the moon... We are dreaming... together... forever...
