Quando ci incontrammo
per dirci addio
avresti detto fossimo
come una doppia lettera
al momento dell'unione e abbraccio.
Fossimo fatti pure
di una doppia natura
i nostri sguardi vedono
un essere unito…
assente il desiderio
fa morire l'anima.
Incontro non mi sana
perché persiste in presenzassenza.
Incontro fa in me
quel che non avrei immaginato.
La cura è nuovo male
deriva dall'estasi…
Da parte mia vedo un essere
la cui bellezza cresce
brillante e superba
ad ogni nostro incontro.
Non si sfugge in estasi
quel che c'è in amicizia
con bellezza sempre in aumento
fino all'armonia perfetta.
When we came together
to bid each other adieu
You would have thought that we were
Like a double letter
At the moment of union and embrace.
Even if we are made up
Of a double nature,
Our glances see only
One unified being...
I am absent and therefore desire
Causes my soul to pass away.
Meeting does not cure me
Because it persists both in absence and in presence.
Meeting her produced in me
That which I had not imagined at all.
Healing is a new ill,
Which comes of ecstasy...
Because as for me, I see a being
Whose beauty increases,
Brilliant and superb
At every one of our meetings.
One does not escape in ecstasy
That exists in kinship
With beauty that continues to intensify
To the point of perfect harmony.
