Ah love, young love
Is like a cactus flower,
The very one that when disenchantment comes,
Turns into a thorn
Ah, love’s the way it is
It belongs to every one of us
It’s made of I love you’s, surprise, coolness,
Inevitable things
Blessed
Soaked
Ah, love, a refined disease
That grows,
The very one that later
Becomes torment
Ah love’s the way it is,
Never the same,
Made up of embraces, cases, bonds
And other inevitable things
The best of this world
And the most sordid
Ah love, young love,
That’s all we talk about.
The very love that when rejection comes,
Must not even be mentioned
Ah, love’s the way it is,
Animal instinct, female, seed, germ
And other inevitable things.
It has its enchantments…
Most certainly.
