Ma chere! I have loved since half past the dead of dawn,

The fields attacking me with their poppies, and you? My

Opiate, just one hit needed only, nevermore nor any less

So addictive to that seductive scent of a sweetheart's wet

Kiss, and I! O! How I'm a sugarcoated summer's bliss! And

How I shall sing "Que sera sera!" O! My Omaha, driving

'Cross country, nowhere to go but inside, you, here, by me,

And I can't seem to shake this impossible dream: How am
I so serene, or why me? How I deserve thee! Mon amour,

je suis amoureux avec vous! O! How this is true! Let us 

Sail that sky where the Seven Seas roll as the sheets engulf

My head, that grip caressing down the wooden totem pole,

And O! And don't you know? Say you shall! Say you'll be

Forever mine as we sail that gentle sky past that good night

And onto that penultimate breaking of dawn, and how so!

How I have loved since half past the dead of dawn! Oui!

C'est vrai, mon amour! How that love redirected my life

Until I was in your arms, objectified by your sweet caress.
