Les Amants Merveilleux

In the little street
The empty, bare street
Where the sky smells wet
The cobblestones of the neighborhood
I saw two lovers
Who moved me so much
Two wonderful lovers
Amazed by love
They walked slowly
With their eyes half-closed
Holding hands
Without saying a single word
They didn’t even see me
As they passed by
So beautiful was their night
And filled with joy.
The wonderful lovers
Ecstasy in their eyes
Walked as if they carried within them
A fabulous treasure
Almost miraculous
This immense fortune of being two
You could feel their love
More than any sun
That seemed to light up the sky
Seeing so much happiness
I was almost scared
I couldn’t believe such a thing.
The wonderful lovers
Ecstasy in their eyes
Deep within themselves they heard
Heard a music
The pathetic music
Of their hearts, their hearts beating
Oh how they kissed
Kissed in the street
The little empty, bare street
Then they disappeared
Walking slowly
Into the night, erased by the wind.
Then all flustered
I ran, I ran
Toward your heart and your outstretched arms
And against you nestled,
My love, I understood
That we were also...
Wonderful lovers...
