| Text Translation | I want to die while you love me, While yet you hold me fair, While Laughter lies upon my lips And lights are in my hair. I want to die while you love me And bear to that still bed Your kisses turbulent, unspent To warm me when I’m dead. I want to die while you love me; Oh, who would care to live Till love has nothing more to ask And nothing more to give? I want to die while you love me, And never, never see The glory of this perfect day Grow dim, or cease to be! |
