Rebellious and submissive one, eyelashes lowered
Take off your shirt, my lovely girl
Love is like a cherry, and too little time
It's already too late to go dancing

As sane and insane as it seems to us
Let's follow this out to the end
Give me your mouth so I can love you a little
Open yourself to me, for the love of god

Let me, without fear, kneel before you
Tasting your absinth, drinking your sweet wine
Ah, your laughter and protests, your murmurs
How fleeting they are, swiftly they fade

Let's defy the world, and all its angry rules
Your pleasure floods my ravenous mouth
Virtuous or lewd, I don't give a damn
I'm coming now in your deep red sex

Oh, Pierrot of the Moon, Oh, mountains and marvels
Look how my pen falls from exhaustion
And how, like a caress for shivering children,
the Night covers us with her blue mantle

Rebellious and submissive, eyelashes drooping
Put your shirt back on, my sweet fiancee
Love is like a cherry, and times gone by
It's already too late to go dancing
