The Ultimate Vehicle of Earthly Bliss - 15. Your caress on my skin
.
Aus „Les chansons de Bilitis“
(Freie Nachdichtung nach dem
Französischen des Pierre Louis)
II.
Liebkosungen
Schließ deine Arme sanft um mich,
Schließ sie wie einen Gürtel.
Rühre, o rühre an meine Haut.
Nicht das Wasser, nicht der Mittagswind,
Nichts gibt es, das sanfter ist
Als deine Hand.
Heut Schwesterlein ist es an dir,
Heute sollst du mich lieben.
Knie neben mir ohne zu reden.
Gib mir die Liebe
Wie ich sie dich lehrte
Die letzte Nacht.
Deine Lippen verlassen die meinen
Dein wirres Haar schleift ihnen nach
So wie die Liebkosung
Dem Kuße folgt.
Es gleitet über meine Brust, verbirgt
Dein Auge mir. [i]

The Two from “Les chansons de Bilitis”
(Free translation after the
French by Pierre Louÿs)
II.
Love Caresses
Lock your arms gently around me,
To clasp them as if a belt.
Lay your caress, your touch, on my skin.
For not cool water, nor midday breeze,
Matches the softness I feel
From your hand’s trace.
Now, dear little sister, show me
Today you’re ready for love.
Kneel besides me without saying a word.
Return it to me
Just the way I showed you
All through the night.
Slowly, I feel your lips depart from mine,
Your tousled hair trails after them
As their caress lingers
Following the kiss.
Your locks glide over my breast, playing coy,
Then hide your glance.
