And I don't believe in the existence of angels
But looking at you I wonder if that's true...
— Nick Cave, Into My Arms
Not for a fleeting night,
But for a whole life through,
So I long for you, O my Beloved.
The burning circle of the Moon
Scorches my lips with bitter fire,
When I kiss a cold windowpane,
Not, alas, you, O my Dove.
Not for a fleeting night,
Not for mere delight,
So I yearn for you, O my Honey.
Stars of darkened skies
Blind my weary eyes,
When I gaze into the depth of night,
Not at you, O Unfathomed Soul.
Not for a fleeting night,
Nor from loneliness,
My heart reaches out to you.
I cannot fend away
The assaults of these feelings;
Above me Cupid beats his wings in vain,
Unable to unite us, O my Swan.
Not for a fleeting night
Have I come to love you.
Not in a day, nor two, but over time.
I grieve without you,
I remain sleepless,
Dreaming of your magic by night and by day
To distraction. O God! O my Mother!
And I repeat softly: Te Amo…
