The nights will stretch long
This is the play of passion
With no rules at all
A realm of love
Melting my very soul
Your playful, teasing gaze
Crushing my body
The burning warmth of your body
Hey, stirring up my senses
The sweat on your skin
Sinking deep inside you
My beautiful manhood
O fire, won't your heat subside?
O stream, won't the flood recede?
O ocean, won't your waves calm down?
O my love, won't this continue forever?
Drifting in the wind
The scent of your hair
Tells me to caress you
Tells me to steal you away
Embracing me to your chest
The warmth of your hands
Does something to me
And my shyness surrenders
You, only you, are
The essence of my life
You gave upon my heart
The wet kiss of your lips
And I, all on my own
Have lost myself in you
Why is it so?
Tell me, my love
O heart, won't this trembling thrill calm down?
O eyes, won't sleep come to you?
O dream, won't reality return?
O destiny, won't this longing be quenched?
The nights will stretch long
This is the play of passion
With no rules at all
A realm of love
Melting my very soul
Your playful, teasing gaze
Crushing my body
The burning warmth of your body
Oh, stirring up my senses
The sweat on your skin
Sinking deep inside you
My beautiful manhood
O fire, won't your heat subside?
O stream, won't the flood recede?
O ocean, won't your waves calm down?
O my love, won't this continue forever?
