Love me while we're here,
love, because there's so much
love in us, and fragrance of wild lilacs
before the time of flowers will pass,
and we'll be gone too
and there will be such a time,
and there will be crying and pain,
but we know well, me and you,
that in this world
there's nothing eternal,
that so it must be:
- we'll die to live
and don't be surprised why

Friends, I am asking for your understanding, because all my translations must be proofread and corrected. Poems are hard to translate (even in free verse translations). The original is rhymed. Regards.
As for the title, maybe it would be better to translate "While I'm still by your side" and as for 'surprised', maybe "wonder" would be better, but unfortunately, I'm not a native English speaker and often I'm trying to be as close to the original as it is possible, Przemyslaw Musialowski.
