Oh, how the world
says us two should never be together
that the stars that presided over our birth
has forever condemned our hearts
to remain forever apart.
Oh, that fate is ever so cruel
and the cup of life be so bitter.
Oh, but for God who is love can never condemn love.
Oh, let this love be our guiding star.
Oh, the way can be bitter and the way can be long
for many a path to divine love
is full of sharp stones that slash and cut the feet
with thorn to impale the flesh
and many are the ones both arrogant and selfish
that stand within the way.
Oh, all the answers to all this life's riddles
I find in loving you.
And oh, to me  you are love and life.
And oh, I shall fight my giants for you.
All the giants that keep you from me.
Without you the grave envelops me
and evil demonic hands
pull me down into a dark underworld.
Oh, I am jealous for your love!
Please my dear love let no one steal your love form me.
I am desperate for your love
for the want of you is as the want of air to the lungs.
for without you I would die the death of the ****** and forlorn.
Oh, how I hunger for you!
Oh, I hunger for you with a hunger that fills my soul
and sinks down to the marrow within my bones
and infiltrates the deepest fibers of my brain.
Oh, my love for you surpasses all my tongue can tell!
Within you I live and have my being
and without you I am less than nothing.
Oh, the birds fly through the sky upon feathered wing
the fish swim through the deep blue sea
every creature in its natural element resides
and I have my love and longing for you.
Oh, my heaven is not within the sky
or some blessed underworld where the blessed dead go
nor a seat at Odin's side in the banquet hall of Valhalla
nor upon the green Eysian fields.
Oh, my heaven is within your soft loving arms
and within you passionate kiss
so sweet and so filled with love.
Oh, when I inhale your warm breath
a thrill of passion envelops me
and I am filled with a longing
from the core of my deepest being
and I am overpowered and burn within.
Oh, how passion's  fire burns within me!
And I am consumed by your wild beating heart
as it beats above me.
And I am carried away upon a sea of your kisses.
Oh, let me live in your arms for an endless eternity!
Oh, there are no bright and shining cities
nor heavenly harps, nor angels sweet songs
for which I wish and long for
but your soft and lovely body
and an eternity of your kisses
and a heart that endlessly beats for me.
Oh, that heart more lovely and pure
than that of the whitest and purest turtle dove.
Oh, I am lost in your charms
and so shall ever be through this endless eternity.
