Wedding Night
Far from the feasting, in the bedroom
Sits loyal Amor and quakes with dread:
What if the guests become too zestful,
Break the peace of the bridal bed?
A mystical and holy shimmer
Flows from his pale flames of gold;
For you both a whirl of incense
Readies pleasures manifold.
How throbs your heart as chiming timepiece
Chases noisy guests away;
Any moment, lips you burn for
Nought will utter, nought gainsay.
You hasten with her to the temple,
There to consummate your bliss;
The guardian holds aloft his flambeau,
Still and small as a taper is.
How she trembles with your kisses,
Bosom, lips, and cheeks, and brow:
His severities are shivers,
Your derring-do is duty now.
Quick, Amor helps you undress her,
He has half your enterprise;
Roguish, then, but also modest,
He'll be closing both his eyes.

The Wedding Night
WITHIN the chamber, far away
From the glad feast, sits Love in dread
Lest guests disturb, in wanton play,
The silence of the bridal bed.
His torch's pale flame serves to gild
The scene with mystic sacred glow;
The room with incense-clouds is fil'd,
That ye may perfect rapture know.
How beats thy heart, when thou dost hear
The chime that warns thy guests to fly!
How glow'st thou for those lips so dear,
That soon are mute, and nought deny!
With her into the holy place
Thou hast'nest then, to perfect all;
The fire the warder's hands embrace,
Grows, like a night-light, dim and small.
How heaves her bosom, and how burns
Her face at every fervent kiss!
Her coldness now to trembling turns,
Thy daring now a duty is.
Love helps thee to undress her fast,
But thou art twice as fast as he;
And then he shuts both eye at last,
With sly and roguish modesty.

No Se Si Es Amor

Sabe a besos

Madrugada

Con l soy feliz
Pero vivo sin l.
No s si es amor
Pero crece y crece
Tan por dentro de mi
Que se ve a flor de piel.

Y se me escapa
Entre los dedos
Medio angel medio cruel.

Mi Buen Amor
Mi buen amor
Hay amores que se esfuman con los aos
Hay amores que su llama sigue viva
Los inciertos que son rosa y son espina
Y hay amores de los buenos come t?
Hay amores que se siembran y florecen
Hay amores que terminan en sequa
Los que traen desengaos en la vida
Y hay amores de los buenos como t?
Mi amor, mi buen amor, mi delirio
No prentendas que te olvide as? no ms
Que tu amor fue mar cuando sedienta
Me arrime a tu puerto a descansar
Que tu amor, amor solo el que un da
En tu pecho vida ma, me dio la felicidad
Hay amores que nos llevan al abismo
Hay amores que jams se nos olvidan
Los que dan toda ternura y fantasa
Son amores de los buenos como t?
Mi amor, mi buen amor, mi delirio
No pretendas que sea poco mi penar
Que tu amor fue luz de pleno da
Cuando todo era oscuridad
Que tu amor, amor solo el que un dia
En tu pecho, vida ma... me dio la felicidad ...

Marzo Pazzo
Mad March, with the wind in his wings wide-spread,
Leaps from heaven, and the deep dawn's arch
Hails re-risen again from the dead
Mad March.
Soft small flames on rowan and larch
Break forth as laughter on lips that said
Nought till the pulse in them beat love's march.
But the heartbeat now in the lips rose-red
Speaks life to the world, and the winds that parch
Bring April forth as a bride to wed
Mad March.

Las Palabras De Amor (feat. Zucchero)
Don't touch me now
Don't hold me now
Don't break the spell darling, now you are
near
Look in my eyes
And speak to me
The special promises I want to hear
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito mi amor
Love me slow and gently
One foolish world, so many souls
Senselessly hurled through the never ending
cold
And all for fear, and all for greed
Speak any tongue but for God's sake we
need
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito mi amor
Let me know, this night and evermore
This room is bare
This night is cold
We're apart and I'm growing old
But while we live, we'll meet again
So then my love we may whisper once more
It's you I adore
Las palabras de amor
Let me hear the words of love
Despacito mi amor
Touch me now
Las palabras de amor
Let us share the words of love
For evermore
For evermore

Hagamos El Amor
Busco en tu piel la tormenta
Y los rayos
El huracan de tu cuerpo
Desbocado Haz el amor conmigo
No es nada malo
Se mezclara lo duice Con lo salado
Hagamos el amor
Tu pasion vergonzosa
Se te escapa De las manos
Yo beso tus caderas calurosas Con mis labios
Haz el amor conmigo
No es nada malo
Ni tu saldras herida Ni yo danado
Si solo con mirarnos
Nos deseamos
Nos comemos con los ojos
Siempre los dos Amandonos
Hagamos el amor
Hagamos el amor

Necesito De T
Pulso acelerado, tu cabeza va a estallar
Y tu corazon esta sangrando
Estas delirando, hasta te falta respirar
Estas cansado de estar solo con tu soledad
Rompes la herida en tu pobre alma
Es que se te nota a simple vista
Necesitas alguien que te sale la pasion
Te cubra la ilusion, te abra el corazon
Tu necesitas de mi, de mi
Yo necesito de ti, de ti
Tu necesitas amor, de mi amor o ven aqui
Tu necesitas de mi, de mi
Yo necesito de ti, de ti
Tu necesitas amor de mi amor o ven aqui
Como perdida en el desierto estoy
Extraandote hasta morir
Siento que me falta el aire si no estas aqui
Nada me hace feliz
No lo voy a resistir
Nada lo consigo si no estas tu junto a mi
Mi television y mis amigos
Ya de fiesta a fiesta cada vez me aburro mas
Ya no se como estudiar, no me puedo concentrar
Tu necesitas de mi, de mi
Yo necesito de ti, de ti
Tu necesitas amor, de mi amor o ven aqui
Tu necesitas de mi, de mi
Yo necesito de ti de ti
Tu necesitas amor de mi amor o ven aqui
Tu necesitas de mi, de mi
Yo necesito de ti, de ti
Tu necesitas amor de mi amor o ven aqui
Tu necesitas de mi, de mi
Yo necesito de ti de ti

Lass Of Cessnock Banks, The
A Song of Similes
Tune - 'If he be a Butcher neat and trim.'
On Cessnock banks a lassie dwells;
Could I describe her shape and mein;
Our lasses a' she far excels,
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een.
She's sweeter than the morning dawn,
When rising Phoebus first is seen,
And dew-drops twinkle o'er the lawn;
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een.
She's stately like yon youthful ash,
That grows the cowslip braes between,
And drinks the stream with vigour fresh;
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een.
She's spotless like the flow'ring thorn,
With flow'rs so white and leaves so green,
When purest in the dewy morn;
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een.
Her looks are like the vernal May,
When ev'ning Phoebus shines serene,
While birds rejoice on every spray;
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een.
Her hair is like the curling mist,
That climbs the mountain-sides at e'en,
When flow'r-reviving rains are past;
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een.
Her forehead's like the show'ry bow,
When gleaming sunbeams intervene
And gild the distant mountain's brow;
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een.
Her cheeks are like yon crimson gem,
The pride of all the flowery scene,
Just opening on its thorny stem;
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een.
Her bosom's like the nightly snow,
When pale the morning rises keen,
While hid the murm'ring streamlets flow;
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een.
Her lips are like yon cherries ripe,
That sunny walls from Boreas screen;
They tempt the taste and charm the sight;
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een.
Her teeth are like a flock of sheep,
With fleeces newly washen clean,
That slowly mount the rising steep;
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een.
Her breath is like the fragrant breeze,
That gently stirs the blossom'd bean,
When Phoebus sinks behind the seas;
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een.
Her voice is like the ev'ning thrush,
That sings on Cessnock banks unseen,
While his mate sits nestling in the bush;
An' she has twa sparkling roguish een.
But it's not her air, her form, her face,
Tho' matching beauty's fabled queen;
'Tis the mind that shines in ev'ry grace,
An' chiefly in her roguish een.

Amor Se Paga Con Amor
CORO
Piensas que me tienes en control
No le pongas precio a lo que soy
El amor que te doy se paga con amor
Todo para ti tiene un valor
Mira de una vez soy como soy
El amor que te doy se paga con amor
Tu llegaste alli y como un rey
En la discoteca me gustaste
Me senti volar al mirarme asi
Tu sonrisa te basto para llegar a mi
Para impresionar, estabas tu
Junto a los demas brindando un champagne
Con tu vanidad y ese ..
En tu mundo te sentias como el mejor
Y si asi tomaras de lo que me das
El amor que siento no se puede comprar yeah
CORO
Tu me quieres dar todo material
Pero te falto, el romance
Para que comprar, lo que es tuyo ya
Lo que busco, en la tienda no se vende
Yo te pido mas, y no me lo das
Necesito amor algo mas real
Si no puede ser ven y dmelo
Ya no puedo un da mas entindelo
Y si as tomaras de lo que me das
El amor que siento no se puede comprar yeah
CORO
Se paga con amor, amor, amor
No hay un milln ni mucho mas (mucho mas)
Que a mi me pueda conquistar (conquistar)
Para comprar mi corazn
Te cuesta mas amor si compras un amor
(amor te cuesta mas)
Te puedo dar una vez mas si quieres a mi amor llegar
No hay precio que puedas pagar
para ganar mi amor se gana con amor
CORO (2x)

Duermete pronto mi amor
Que la noche ya llego
Y cierra tus ojos que yo
De tus sueos cuidare
Siempre a tu lado estare
Y tu guardian yo sere

Si un dia te sientes mal

Y aunque muy lejos tu estes
Yo a tu sombra cuidare
Siempre a tu lado estare
Y tu guardian yo sere

Esta noche te prometo que no vendran
Ni dragones ni fantasmas a molestar
Y en la puerta de tus sueos yo voy a estar
Hasta que tus ojos vuelvan a abrir
Duermete mi amor suea con mi voz
Duermete mi amor hasta que salga el sol

My Love
SHE has tender eyes that tell
All her prim, set lips suppress—
Daring thoughts that ever dwell
Prisoned in her bashfulness;
Hints of sudden tenderness
That within her breast rebel.
Till her bosom's fall and swell
Tell her meaning all too well,
To her heart's demure distress.
She has soft, smooth cheeks that flame
As she nestles close, so close,
With the new half-joy, half-shame,
That within her bosom glows,
And each fevered feature shows.
Her hot pulses beat acclaim
Of the hopes she dare not tame,
Fervid thoughts she cannot name—
Till I kiss her, and she knows.
She has clinging arms of white,
Little hands and fingers fine,
And she holds me tight, so tight;
While her eager arms entwine
Deep I drink her kisses' wine.
Hush! I feel through all her slight,
Trembling figure love's delight,
And she knows that all is right,
And her bosom beats with mine.

Echoes Of Love's House
Love gives every gift whereby we long to live
“Love takes every gift, and nothing back doth give.”
Love unlocks the lips that else were ever dumb:
“Love locks up the lips whence all things good might come.”
Love makes clear the eyes that else would never see:
“Love makes blind the eyes to all but me and thee.”
Love turns life to joy till nought is left to gain:
“Love turns life to woe till hope is nought and vain.”
Love, who changest all, change me nevermore!
“Love, who changest all, change my sorrow sore!”
Love burns up the world to changeless heaven and blest,
“Love burns up the world to a void of all unrest.”
And there we twain are left, and no more work we need:
“And I am left alone, and who my work shall heed?”
Ah! I praise thee, Love, for utter joyance won!
“And is my praise nought worth for all my life undone?”

Lips Like Sugar
She floats like a swan
Grace on the water
Lips like sugar
Lips like sugar
Just when you think you've caught her
She glides across the water
She calls for you tonight
To share this moonlight
She'll flow down your river
And ask him and she'll give you
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She knows what she knows
I know what she's thinking
Sugar kisses
Sugar kisses
Just when you think she's yours
She's flown to other shores
To laugh at how you break
To melt into this lake
She'll flow down your river
And ask him and she'll give you
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
She'll be my mirror
Reflect what I am
A loser and a winner
The King of Siam
And my Siamese twin
She knows what I'm thinking
???
She'll flow down your river
And ask him and she'll give you
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses
Lips like sugar
Sugar kisses

It Is Not Beauty I Demand
It is not Beauty I demand,
A crystal brow, the moon's despair,
Nor the snow's daughter, a white hand,
Nor mermaid's yellow pride of hair.
Tell me not of your starry eyes,
Your lips that seem on roses fed,
Your breasts where Cupid trembling lies,
Nor sleeps for kissing of his bed.
A bloomy pair of vermeil cheeks,
Like Hebe's in her ruddiest hours,
A breath that softer music speaks
Than summer winds a-wooing flowers.
These are but gauds; nay, what are lips?
Coral beneath the ocean-stream,
Whose brink when your adventurer sips
Full oft he perisheth on them.
And what are cheeks but ensigns oft
That wave hot youth to fields of blood?
Did Helen's breast though ne'er so soft,
Do Greece or Ilium any good?
Eyes can with baleful ardor burn,
Poison can breath that erst perfumed,
There's many a white hand holds an urn
With lovers' hearts to dust consumed.
For crystal brows--there's naught within,
They are but empty cells for pride;
He who the Syren's hair would win
Is mostly strangled in the tide.
Give me, instead of beauty's bust,
A tender heart, a loyal mind,
Which with temptation I could trust,
Yet never linked with error find.
One in whose gentle bosom I
Could pour my secret heart of woes.
Like the care-burdened honey-fly
That hides his murmurs in the rose.
My earthly comforter! whose love
So indefeasible might be,
That when my spirit won above
Hers could not stay for sympathy.
