      Yielding, surrendering all the time

      Love is the finest silence

      The most shivering, the most unbearable

      In the darkness they open their eyes and fear falls into them

      They find scorpions beneath the sheets

      They wait, they don’t expect anything, but they wait

      They’re worried about love

      Those in love are out of their minds, because they’re alone, alone, alone

      The veins of their throat also swell up like serpents to strangle them

      Lovers are insatiable

      Lovers are mad, just mad

      Without God and without the Devil

      And their bed floats as if upon a lake
