Your eyes, they beam in the lilac time
Your winning smile
And cheeks blushing like the rose
Yet all the while, you sigh when nobody knows

When I return, I'll make you mine
For you and I, our love dream can never die

Jeannine, I dream of lilac time
Jeannine, when lilacs are in bloom, I long for you
Your eyes, they beam in the lilac time
Your eyes sparkle and shine during the lilac season
Your winning smile
Your charming smile that captures and wins over hearts
And cheeks blushing like the rose
Your rosy, blush cheeks that add to your beauty
Yet all the while, you sigh when nobody knows
Despite your happy appearance, you secretly yearn for me

For you and I, our love dream can never die
Our love is so strong that we will always keep our dreams alive
