Translation
Bilingual
Love is but a word that wandered here from pastures green
Where it was rarely said or seen and seldom sung
Innocent enough, it was intended to be used on rare occasions
Not abused by every tongue
Never has a word been ever taken so in vain
What little meaning might remain is quickly blurred
Never has there been so quite exhausted such a term -
Your sighs and syllables confirmed how drained this word
You call it love (I call it love)
I call it rude (You call it rude)
I call it lust (You think me just)
I call it lewd (A bit too crude)
I call it cruel (And I the fool)
I cannot bear (Yet I still dare)
To call it love (To call it love)
I think it foul (I see you scowl)
I think it vile (You see me smile)
No more I'll take ('Tis you I'll break!)
Of cunning guile (I've no denial)
You're worse than bad (My words are mad)
You give to sin (I speak them in the name of love)
The name of love
Rose Bud, the dainty little face whose every curl
Confirms that she's a child, a girl, a neophyte
Rosa is the only soul in Cloisterham, it seems
Who senses just the sort of dreams you dream at night
Did you think your stare would stop my seeing?
Every fibre of my being told me since I was betrothed
That your most unnatural attention conjures words I dare not mention
You must know how much I loathed
To know your wants (You know my wants)
To see you clutch (To need not clutch)
To hear your voice (You have no choice)
To feel your touch (Is it so much)
A dreadful task (For me to ask?)
To even speak (I only seek)
To call it love (The name of love)
I will not fear (I love to hear)
My tragic plight! (The angry bite)
I have a choice - (Of your fair voice!)
I'll take to flight! (One blazing night)
I'll not permit (You will submit)
You to desecrate (And give your fate)
The name of love! (The name of love)
The name of love! (The name of love)
The name of love! (The name of love)
The name of love! (The name of love)
The name of love!
And in the moonfall (And in the moonfall)
Can you not see this victim, and lo (Can you not free this victim you so)
His slave (Enslave?)
Save me - (Save me)
And yet he seems so in pain! (And let these dreams remain)
John, you make me like stone (Awake my own)
Transfixed with wonder (Transfixed with one)
Mixed with the thunder (Of this love)
Of this love (My all, my love)
Your name of love is chilling to me! (Your name is love and thrilling to me!)
Beneath these skies one night unknown
Would (s)he dare?
Between our eyes one sight alone we share
The sight of moonfall
As it comes into view
So that (So I promise that you shall be)
Soon I (Soon a golden idol whom I)
Only see but (Own and love and lead into a Sea of light! 'Tis but the falling)
You! (Moon!)
