[English]

Your always‑desired mouth

Your hands I'll never forget

Eyes that laugh and weep

In the night of the two

A frantic, crazy mind

A slowly surrendering body

A soul of living blood

In the night of the two

I search for the constant craving of your mouth

The unforgettable touch of your hands

The laughing tears in your eyes

I seek the wild rush of your mind

The slow surrender of your body

The night of the two

Your always‑desired mouth

Your hands I'll never forget

Eyes that laugh and weep

In the night of the two

A frantic, crazy mind

A slowly surrendering body

A soul of living blood

In the night of the two

I search for the constant craving of your mouth

The unforgettable touch of your hands

The laughing tears in your eyes

I seek the wild rush of your mind

The slow surrender of your body

The night of the two

I search for the constant craving of your mouth

The unforgettable touch of your hands

The laughing tears in your eyes

I seek the wild rush of your mind

The slow surrender of your body

The night of the two
