My lips' fiery kiss

I don't understand myself,

why they keep talking of love,

if they come near me,

if they look into my eyes and kiss my hand.

I don't understand myself,

Why they talk of magic,

you fight in vain, if you see me

If you pass me by.

But if the red light is on

In the middle of the night

And everybody listens to my song,

Then it is plain to see:

My lips, they give so fiery a kiss,

My limbs, they are supple and white,

It is written for me in the stars:

Thou shalt kiss! Thou shalt love!

My feet, they glide and float,

My eyes, they lure and glow,

And I dance as if entranced, 'cause I know!

My lips give so fiery a kiss!

In my veins

runs a dancer's blood,

Because my beautiful mother

Was the Queen of dance in the gilded Alcazar.

She was so very beautifull,

I often saw her in my dreams,

If she beat the tamburine, to her beguiling dance

All eyes were glowing admiringly!

She reawakened in me,

mine is the same lot.

I dance like her at midnight

And from deep within I feel:

My lips, they give so fiery a kiss!

My limbs, they are supple and white,

It is written for me in the stars:

Thou shalt kiss! Thou shalt love!

My feet, they glide and float,

My eyes, they lure and glow,

And I dance as if entranced, 'cause I know!

My lips give so fiery a kiss!
