Of all the stars I admired, drenchedin 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 bodyAll the waterdrops, all the rootsall the threads of light gathered to me here;they came to me sooner or laterI wanted your hair all for myselfFrom all the gaces of my homeland offeredI chose only your savage heart.
