A Secret Love
You're a well-known beauty
everyone wants you,
but no one knows
that you are mine.
We meet in secret
so that no one catches on
that your mother will
call mine her son-in-law’s mother.
Our dear parents
do not yet know
that I will call you
my beloved wife.
Our love is a secret,
the greatest in the village,
they’ll find out when they see
the white wedding dress.
Zera Princ
