Oh, if only I could, my lady, | |||
Tell what I feel and prove when I gaze upon you, | |||
I would make envious whoever is content. | |||
A living sun shines in your face, | |||
And from your beautiful eyes, it rains | |||
A fire of love that burns and consumes my heart, | |||
And from your enflamed lips, a breath moves | |||
Of such sweet words that it fuels the fire, | |||
And makes the burning sweet. | |||
Oh, what a happy love, | |||
Far more than any other, mine is of fire and wind, | |||
Blessed to live, I intend to gaze upon you. | |||
