For so long we managed to enjoy our love,
And our souls were in such perfect harmony,
That it’s you that I taste of,
But you also have on you a taste of me.
If you say my part in your life isn’t true,
Just some words and an embrace will make you see:
So much life I gave to you
That you must already have a taste of me.
I don’t claim to be your master,
I’m not vain, I hardly have enough to live.
In my life I give my best, dear,
I’m so poor that I don’t know what else to give.
Yes, a thousand years will pass, and many more.
I don’t know what the hereafter has in store,
But for all eternity
In your mouth there’ll always be a taste of me.
