Of all the stars I admired, drenched in various rivers and mists, I chose only the one I love. Since then I sleep with the night.
Of all the waves, one wave and another wave, green sea, green chill, branchings of green, I chose only the one wave, the indivisible wave of your body.
All the waterdrops, all the roots, all the threads of light gathered to me here; they came to me sooner or later.
I wanted your hair, all for myself. From all the graces my homeland offered I chose only your savage heart.
