The lyrics describe a romantic moment in a garden filled with fragrant flowers such as roses, where the couple is enjoying the quietness of the evening. The two lovers are surrounded by the scents of myrrh and frankincense, which add to the intensity of their connection. The singer suggests that the woman is the key to unlocking his heart's secrets, and he longs to sing a love song to her.
The lyrics create an ambiance of serenity, love, and desire. The coupling of the two in a garden filled with flowers and the scent of herbs and spices makes it sensual and romantic. The singer depicts his longing and desire for his love, even though he cannot find the words to express it.

As beautiful as this performance is, looking at him singing it puts tears to my eyes knowing of his tragic departure. Almost 48 years later the fact that his fans continue to honor his memory shows how much he has left his legacy.

Que la voix de Mike Brant et de Nana Mouskouri se marient bien. Une plutôt grave et l' autre claire comme de l'eau de source. Tout simplement magnifique.
