Hey, Venus, oh, Venus
Expressing a greeting or acknowledgment to Venus, the goddess of love and beauty.
Hey, Venus, oh, Venus
Reiteration of the greeting or acknowledgment to Venus.
Venus, if you will
Directly addressing Venus, making a request or expressing a desire.
Please send a little girl for me to thrill
Asking Venus to send a girl who would be captivating or exciting to him.
A girl who wants my kisses and my arms
Describing the desired girl as someone who is willing to receive his kisses and embrace.
A girl with all the charms of you
Wanting a girl possessing all the attractive qualities and allure that Venus herself possesses.
Venus, make her fair
Requesting Venus to create the girl with fairness or beauty.
A lovely girl with sunlight in her hair
Desiring a lovely girl with sunlight-like brightness in her hair.
And take the brightest stars up in the skies
Asking Venus to take the brightest stars from the sky and place them in the girl's eyes.
And place them in her eyes for me
Expressing a wish for the girl's eyes to be filled with the brightness of stars for him.
Venus, goddess of love that you are
Addressing Venus as the goddess of love and acknowledging her divine status.
Surely the things I ask
Confidently stating that the requested favors are not too great for the goddess of love.
Can't be too great a task
Expressing faith in Venus's ability to fulfill the requested desires.
Venus, if you do
If Venus grants the request, making a promise to remain faithful.
I promise that I always will be true
Committing to giving the requested girl all the love the speaker has to offer.
I'll give her all the love I have to give
Promising to love the girl for the duration of their lives.
As long as we both shall live
Committing to a lifelong expression of love for the girl.
Hey, Venus, oh, Venus
Repeating the greeting or acknowledgment to Venus.
Make my wish come true
Specifically asking Venus to make the speaker's wish come true.
