~ AMOUR GITAN
Gypsy, let me lift your skirt
and have a look at you.
Open in my ancient fingers
the blue rose of your womb.
Picaresque woman
Let the virile wind pursue you
with his breathing and burning sword
while the beats of my heart
skip with every kiss.
The sea darkens and roars,
while the olive trees turn pale.
The flutes of night sound,
and a muted sigh of the snow
whispers your breath.
Gypsy, run, my love!
Or the green wind will catch you!
Gypsy, run, my love!
And look how fast he comes:
A satyr of lowborn stars
with their glistening tongues.
Gypsy, run, my love!
And my arms will possess you
with an ethereal mantle of passion
when the solitary rose of your mouth
will sedate the worm of my despair.
