[Key: A flat, Time: 4/4]

| I love you, to my stupefaction.
| I love you, love you with compunction.
| There's no longer anything to be fearful of;
| I love you, I can't just dismiss you.

| We had to stop (stop) our own neverending sweet kiss
| when a sudden sirocco flew by.
| I cannot stop (stop) all the heat that comes from my heart;
| Please don't ever let me see you cry.

I love you, to my stupefaction.
I love you, love you with compunction.
I can't go on cogitating without going mad;
I love you, I'll never let go of you.

You can't just stop (stop) try to save your skin and go back;
for the creeping night has come unwarned.
We shouldn't stop (stop) no, we shouldn't ever split up;
for we can't get out of this unharmed.

| Why don't they stop (stop)? Frozen hard expressions of cold
| that I feel here when we are apart.
| Oh, please just stop (stop) melancholy words of despair;
| do you really want to break my heart?
