Let your lips remain like an unsealed testament,
Kiss me, kiss me as if this were the last moment of our reunion!
Let the fires of my soul be calmed in your waters,
Kiss me, kiss me as if I were a ship for a lifetime!
As if fate is in ambush, the hours are our executioner,
Tomorrow is a snowy mountain, alas, the roads are ours!
While the kingdom called love has taken refuge in us tonight,
Kiss me, kiss me as if I were the soil of this homeland!
My fear is neither of the darkness nor of the ending night.
My fear is of falling from the syllable within your name!
Since longing will emerge from the riddle you offer,
Kiss me, kiss me as if I were the worst of exiles!
Let your scent permeate my skin, let it become a spring blossom in my blood,
Let your eyes become a pair of verses in my eyes.
If you are going to leave, let this last memory become a giant,
Kiss me, kiss me as if your separation were everything!
