And because love battlesA
not only in its burning agriculturesA
but also in the mouth of men and womenB
I will finish off by taking the path awayC
to those who between my chest and your fragranceA
want to interpose their obscure plantD
-
About me nothing worseA
they will tell you my loveE
than what I told youF
-
I lived in the prairiesA
before I got to know youF
and I did not wait love but I wasA
laying in wait for and I jumped on the roseA
-
What more can they tell youF
I am neither good nor bad but a manG
and they will then associate the dangerH
of my life which you knowI
and which with your passion you sharedJ
-
And good this dangerH
is danger of love of complete loveE
for all lifeK
for all livesA
and if this love brings usA
the death and the prisonsA
I am sure that your big eyesA
as when I kiss themL
will then close with prideM
into double pride loveE
with your pride and my prideM
-
But to my ears they will come beforeN
to wear down the tourO
of the sweet and hard love which binds usA
and they will say The oneB
you loveE
is not a woman for youF
Why do you love her I thinkP
you could find one more beautifulQ
more serious more deepR
more other you understand me look how she s lightS
and what a head she hasA
and look at how she dressesA
and etcetera and etceteraT
-
And I in these lines sayC
Like this I want you loveE
love Like this I love youF
as you dressA
and how your hair lifts upU
and how your mouth smilesA
light as the waterH
of the spring upon the pure stonesA
Like this I love you belovedV
-
To bread I do not ask to teach meW
but only not to lack during every day of lifeK
I don t know anything about light from whereX
it comes nor where it goesA
I only want the light to light upU
I do not ask to the nightS
explanationsA
I wait for it and it envelops meW
And so you bread and lightS
And shadow areY
-
You came to my lifeK
with what you were bringingZ
madeA2
of light and bread and shadow I expected youF
and Like this I need youF
Like this I love youF
and to those who want to hear tomorrowI
that which I will not tell them let them read it hereB2
and let them back off today because it is earlyW
for these argumentsA
-
Tomorrow we will only give themL
a leaf of the tree of our love a leafC2
which will fall on the earthD2
like if it had been made by our lipsA
like a kiss which fallsA
from our invincible heightsA
to show the fire and the tendernessA
of a true loveE
