Contigo [English translation]

I dont' want a civilized love,

with receipts and scenes with a couch,

I don't want you to travel to the past,

And come back from the marketplace,

About to cry.

I don't want any neighbours with their Mum's stew.

I don't want to sow nor share,

I don't want any Valentine,

Or Happy Birthday.

I don't want to carry your luggage,

I don't want you to choose my shampoo,

I don't want to move to another planet,

Nor to cut my horse-tail,

Nor to make a toast for your sake.

I don't want Sunday afternoons,

I don't want a swing in the garden,

What I want - coward heart

Is you to die for me.

And to die for you if you kill me.

And to die with you if you kill yourself.

And to kill myself along with you if you die,

Because love kills when it doesn't die away.

Because killing love never dies.

I don't want to save for tomorrow,

Don't ask me to make ends meet,

I dont' want to eat an apple,

Twice a week,

Not being hungry at all.

I don't want a greenhouse warmth,

I don't want to kiss your scar,

I don't want Paris under the pouring rain

Nor Venice without you.

Don't wait for me at noon at the court,

Don't tell me "Let's start again"

I don't want free or occupied,

No flesh or sin,

No pride or mercy. .

I don't want to know why you did so,

I don't want with you nor without you,

What I want, sad-eyed girl,

Is you to die for me.

And to die for you if you kill me.

And to die with you if you kill yourself.

And to kill myself along with you if you die,

Because love kills when it doesn't die away.

Because killing love never dies.
