In exchange for a kiss on your scented skin
Francesco Paolo Tosti
In exchange for a kiss on your scented skin,
for a kiss amidst the gold of your hair,
accept my whole soul, oh beloved!
You would fill the infinity of my wishes...
with a kiss!
For a pure kiss in your lips,
deep, tenacious and slow like an adieu,
to suffer love-sickness and to burn with its fevers,
to languish and to die, little by little...
in a kiss!
