The stars were shining

Versions: #1#2#3

(Literal translation)

-

The stars were shining,

And the earth was scented.

The gate of the garden creaked

And a footstep grazed the sand...

Fragrant, she entered

And fell into my arms.

Oh, sweet kisses and languorous caresses,

While feverishly I stripped the beautiful form of its veils!

Forever, my dream of love has vanished.

That moment has fled, and I die in desperation.

And I die in desperation!

And I never before loved life so much,

Loved life so much!
