1. I love you in despair, and in wishful thinking,
As if I became part of you, and you became part of me.

2. I love you beyond the capacity of my ribs,
And beyond the reach of my hands, and my expectations.

3. A passion, limp in limbs, serene
On the plain of youth, calm and assured.

4. So I confess, every passing breeze
Speaks of you in the world, and speaks of me.

5. Dawn will spread us on the hills,
On the valley, on the melodious trees.

6. So I confess, do the pots know
That you are my cups, and my close one?

7. I murmur your lip’s name over my cup
And sip it, as if you, as if it were me.

8. Our love is bliss, so look through my eyes,
And a wedding to hopes, so hear through my ears.

9. As if dawn glimmers in my notions,
And a thousand branches flutter in my ribs.

10. On the affectionate string, I unleashed my longing,
And stirred my passion in the singer's sigh.

11. So in the deep melody I walk to you,
And tread the side of the supple string.
