One nightA
one night all full of murmurings of perfumes and music of wingsB
one nightA
in which fantastic fireflies burnt in the humid nuptial shadowsC
slowly by my side pressed altogether close silent and paleD
as if a presentiment of infinite bitternessesC
agitated you unto the most hidden fibers of your beingE
along the flowering path which crosses the plainF
you walkedG
and the full moonH
in the infinite and profound blue heavens scattered its white lightA
and your shadowI
fine and languidJ
and my shadowI
projected by the rays of the moonH
upon the sorrowful sandsC
of the path joined togetherK
and they became oneL
and they became oneL
and they became only one long shadowI
and they became only one long shadowI
and they became only one long shadowI
-
TonightA
alone my soulM
full of the infinite bitternesses and agonies of your deathN
separated from you by time by the tomb and by distanceC
by the infinite blacknessC
where our voice cannot reachO
silent and aloneP
along the path I walkedG
And the barking of dogs at the moon could be heardQ
at the pale moonH
and the chirpingE
of the frogsC
I felt cold It was the coldness that in your alcoveR
your cheeks and your temples and your ador d hands possessedS
within the snowy whitenessC
of the mortuary sheetsC
It was the coldness of the sepulcher it was the ice of deathN
it was the coldness of oblivionL
And my shadowI
projected by the rays of the moonH
walked aloneP
walked aloneP
walked alone along the solitary plainF
and your shadow svelte and agileT
fine and languidJ
as in that warm night of springtime deathN
as in that night full of murmurings of perfumes and music of wingsC
approached and walked with mineU
approached and walked with mineU
approached and walked with mine Oh the shadows intertwinedV
Oh the corporeal shadows united with the shadows of the soulsC
Oh the seeking shadows in those nights of sorrows and of tearsC
