your eyes are unblinking
as you gasped your last breath
your hands are cold
as you trembled in my warmth
i held your face so pale and fair
though in the shadow of sadness
tis your courage that gives me courage
tis your strength that gives me strength
my pulse quickened and vibrated strongly
as death finally embraced you
your heart, though still now, beats in me
resonates within me, around me
you are free now to soar to the heaven
your pain and aches are gone
don't say goodbye, my love
just let me kiss you goodnight

onde as línguas vão dançando
ao nosso sabor,
molhadas e nuas de desejo...
