Fumar es un placer, genial, sensual...
Fumando espero al hombre que yo quiero, tras los cristales de alegres ventanales Y mientras fumo mi vida no consumo porque flotando el humo me suelo adormecer. Tendida en mi sofá, fumar y amar, ver a mi amado feliz y enamorado, sentir sus labios besar con besos sabios. Y el devaneo sentir con más deseo, cuando sus ojos siento sedientos de pasión. Por eso estando mi bien es mi fumar un eden. Dame el humo de tu boca Dame que en mi, pasión provoca. Corre que quiero enloquecer de placer, sintiendo ese calor del humo embriagador que acaba por prender la llama ardiente del amor. La hora de inquietud con él no es cruel sus espirales son sueños celestiales, y forman nubes que hacia la gloria suben y envuelta en ella, su chispa es una estrella, que luce clara y bella con límpido fulgor. |
To smoke is a brilliant,
sensual pleasure...
Smoking I wait for the man I love, behind the glass of happy large windows. And while I smoke my life I don't consume because floating the smoke I usually fall to sleep. Laying in my sofa, smoking and making love, seeing my loved one happy and enamored, feeling his lips to kiss with wise kisses. And feeling the affair with more desire, when I feel his eyes thirsty with passion. For when my darling is in my smoking is an eden. Give me the smoke from your mouth Give me that in me, provokes passion Run that I want to go crazy with pleasure, feeling that heat of the intoxicating smoke that ends up lighting up the ardent flame of the love. The hour of restlessness with him is not cruel his spirals are celestial dreams, and they form clouds that towards the glory raise and surrounded in it, his spark is a star, that shines clear and beautiful with limpid splendour. |
To smoke is a brilliant, sensual delight…
Smoking I wait for the man I love behind the wide panes of pleasant windows and as I smoke I consume not life, tending to sleep in the drifting smoke. To lie on my sofa, smoke and love to see my lover happy loving me to feel his lips kiss with wise kisses and more keenly desire the affair, feeling the thirst for passion in his eyes. When my love is near smoking is an Eden. Give me the smoke from your mouth, give, for it sparks passion within. Run to me; I want to go crazy with pleasure feeling the heat of intoxicating smoke that has just ignited love's burning flame. The restless hour is not cruel, with him his spirals are celestial dreams forming clouds that ascend into glory and wrapped in the mist, his spark is a star shining with beauty clear and bright. |
