With all of my heart
And all of my soul
And all that I have
I cling to you with all might
With all that I am
And all that I own
I give myself away
To have you last with me tonight
Hold me, don’t go
Please hold me, don’t let go
You are the sun that never sets
With you, I face any foe
So don’t let me go
Cold nights, they will end
If we hold our hands
My love, be brave, when you are weak
Let’s entwine like a knot of strands
They will not stand any chance
Against the strongest of our bonds
We’ll dance like humming birds
From flower to flower, tree to tree
No, don’t let me go
You’re the sun that never sets
With you I’d face any foe
Don’t look away from me
Will you please don’t let me go
Note: In Hmong, "sister" is a term used to convey romantic affection to a woman in a similar manner to English speakers using words like "honey," or "sugar."
