Te amo
Aishiteru
Ani ohevet othka
I love you

The sounds are all as different
As the lands from which they came
And though the words are all unique
Our hearts are still the same

     Love in any language
     Straight from the heart
     Pulls us all together
     Never apart
          And once we learn to speak it
          All the world will hear
          Love in any language
          Fluently spoken here

We teach the young our differences
Yet look how we're the same
We love to laugh, to dream our dreams
We know the sting of pain

From Leningrad to Lexington
The farmer loves his land
And daddies all get misty-eyed
To give their daughter's hand

Oh maybe when we realize
How much there is to share
We'll find too much in common
To pretend it isn't there

     Love in any language
     Straight from the heart
     Pulls us all together
     Never apart
          And once we learn to speak it
          All the world will hear
          Love in any language
          Fluently spoken here

The rehtoric of government
May keep us worlds apart
There's no misinterpreting
The language of the heart

     Love in any language
     Straight from the heart
     Pulls us all together
     Never apart
          And once we learn to speak it
          All the world will hear
          Love in any language
          Fluently spoken here
