Make love to me now, when dawn comes
and the sky glitters like shrouded in gold.
Make love to me, now when the gulls cry
and the scent from the sea stays heavy in our room.
Make love to me now, when the sunshine plays
over your naked, suntanned body.
Make love to me now, when everything stands still;
this magic time just before the Sun rises.
When we played yesterday, you became intoxicated and happy,
you wanted to have wine because you felt shy.
When we danced I saw through your dress
and I saw how your glance undressed me in secret.
Make love to me now, you who feel my tenderness;
You, who sleep like a child on my arm.
Make love to me now, you who feel my strength;
Now I am unprotected, full blooded, and warm.
