My beloved one, my sacred bride,
Envision us enraptured in a utopian caress;
How charming you look donning your white, frilly dress!-
Let us dine by The Seine in the eventide.
The taste of chardonnay awaits your gleaming lips;
Take from the cruet enkindling sips,
In the city of lights, by the stream of stars.
Cello serenade you, as do twilit guitars.
Your unspeakable gaze is of a taciturn grace.
In the shade of the fronds, the moon reveals your face.
The restaurant is closing, my love, my dear.
Let us wander by the cathedral to your grand hotel,
Lost within our eyes under Cupid's spell,
As you clasp me by the river, and the dawn does appear.
