Never A Dog Loved This Much
Tell me sweet gypsy
What eyes can use to look at you
A cross eyed?
With which ears could
Hear your singing
A deaf?
What body can use to support you
A cripple?
I know, I see myself
I hear myself, I hear the cries
Which acclaim me as monster.
This King of Fools Esmeralda
Today is really fool
Thinking about you, about all the things
That are negated to him in this world.
Tell me why this sick eye
Shows sane like never
When it sees other people's hands
Go and know your skin
Dark, hot, Andalusian.
Tell me why did you talk to me
Tender gipsy.
Tell me why did you present me
That illusion
Which made me move
Lips by now turned off
Made beating a heart
Rusty like my bells,
Only one lovers I've ever known.
Now, undefended Esmeralda,
When you'll need
You would have a friend
Your hunchback true
To your hands which with sweetness
Never felt
Touched.
And when I'll want to scream
My beautiful Esmeralda,
Don't be envious,
But in keep the secret
Of my eternal pain,
Will be my friends
Iron bells
Which vault will scream my love
To the whole Paris.
Just your ears
Will be unaware
Of the sound of my love
My dear Esmeralda.
