Cuando Te Beso / When I Kiss You
.
When I kiss you, it overcomes me,
Like an entire sea, flowing from within me.
As with your garden, you tend my need,
And as with your flowers, you grow my joy.
The naked nightengale's nightsong passes across my tongue,
And while on his wings we fly on, to love without shame.
Then you and I share the world prize for love,
When you kiss me.
.
.
When I kiss you, like the butterfly's wings,
I feel you close and open. I feel your mouth,
Its moisture baptizes our romance;
It gnaws at the root of my soul.
As gentle as the naked new-born lamb, it gives forth your voice.
Called, I follow your footsteps, and my heart skips a beat.
Then you set fire to all the stars in the heavens
When you kiss me.
.
.
The naked nightengale's nightsong passes across my tongue,
And while on his wings we fly on, to love without shame.
Then you and I share the world prize for love,
When you kiss me.
When I kiss you, the moonlight trembles over the river,
Swallowed in the waves ...
