Fire of love that burns and destroys

Fire, fire that causes sufferings
Infernal fire that curses
Kills and causes death.

Fire of love that emits chills

Fire, fire that extirpates bills

Unimaginable fire that shocks

And triturates diamonds and rocks.

Broken-hearted, isolated and sad;
Mad, nerve-racking and humiliated.
Infernal fire that curses,
Fire of love that burns and destroys.

The torrential winds and the seismic waves
Have invaded and inundated the heaven
Fire, fire that causes sufferings
Fire that kills and causes death.

Broken-hearted, isolated and sad
Let me sink in the absinth
Incarcerate me in the labyrinth
Mad, nerve-racking and humiliated.

Fire, fire that coagulates and bakes
Fire of love that burns and destroys
Stop right there! I no longer wish to suffer;
It is too early to die.

Sing thousand roosters! Ring thousand bells!
Fire of love, fire, fireworks
For the singing and humming youngsters
And the drugged and intoxicated militiamen.

Fire of love that burns and destroys.
Often, it is sad to love too much.
Often, it is nice to dream.
Fire of love that sparkles and shines.

Fire of love that keeps hope alive.
Fire that lights up the road to Liberty.
Fire, fire that sparkles and brightens
The whole Universe: the earth and the ocean.
