Que Je T'aime

When your hair spreads
Like a summer sun
And your pillow
Resembles wheat fields
When shadow and light
Draw on your body
Mountains, forests
And treasure islands

How I love you
How I love you, how I love you
How I love you
How I love you, how I love you

When your mouth softens
When your body toughens
When the sky in your eyes
Suddenly isn't pure anymore
When your hands would like to
When your fingers don't dare
When your modesty says no
In a tiny voice

How I love you
How I love you, how I love you
How I love you
How I love you, how I love you

When you no longer feel like a cat
And you become a dog
And at the wolf's call
You finally break your bonds
When your first sigh
Ends in a cry
When it's me who says no
When it's you who says yes

How I love you
How I love you, how I love you
How I love you
How I love you, how I love you

When my body on your body
Heavy like a dead horse
We don't know, we don't know anymore
If it still exists

When we've made love
When others make war
When I'm the soldier
Who dies and calls for you

How I love you
How I love you, how I love you
How I love you
How I love you, how I love you

How I love you
How I love you, how I love you
How I love you
How I love you, how I love you
