and concealed and painful

About Paris.


Love is something like Paris

and yet they are happy and sentimental

Inside Paris.


People are talking about Paris to me

one can find love between rage and serenity

Living in the gallery of Louvre in Paris.


I want to be in love like Paris

Yes, a raging love that balances

the happiness of death where I mourn the loss

Of my beloved in Paris.


But I have never been to Paris

Yes, never, but I want to taste

the divine love that Paris offers; the sinful love

Only in Paris.


I have never been to Paris

And yet I left Paris, you see because there I lost you; for you

I lost Paris.


Paris never lets me escape the memories

Did you spend one more night in Paris for me?
