Este canto defende afetos do tipo 'one night stand'. Quando era jovem - a canção é de 1972, escrevi o texto numa página vazia de um 'song book', colori a mancha gráfica com acordes para guitarra a cor verde e, quer cantasse quer ouvisse a canção original, esperava por esta estrofe:
"Don't tell me of love everlasting and other sad dreams I don't want to hear. Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other from a lifetime of cares, 'cause if love means forever expecting nothing returned, then I hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to learn."
"Não me fales sobre amor eterno e outros sonhos tristes, porque eu não quero ouvir. Fala-me antes daqueles desconhecidos cheios de desejo que se libertam e nos libertam da amargura da solidão, porque se amar sem querer receber nada em troca é para sempre, então eu terei de esperar que me seja dada uma outra vida inteira para aprender".
How long since I've spent a whole night in a twin bed with a stranger
His warm arms all around me?
How long since I've gazed into dark eyes that melted my soul down
To a place where it longs to be?
All of your history has little to do with your face
You're mainly a mystery with violins filling in space.
You stood in the nude by the mirror and picked out a rose
From the bouquet in our hotel
And lay down beside me again and I watched the rose
On the pillow where it fell
I sank and I slept in a twilight with only one care
To know that when day broke and I woke that you'd still be there.
The hours for once they passed slowly, unendingly by
Like a sweet breeze on a field
Your gentleness came down upon me and I guess I thanked you
When you caused me to yield
We spoke not a sentence and took not a footstep beyond
Our two days together which seemingly soon would be gone.
Don't tell me of love everlasting and other sad dreams
I don't want to hear
Just tell me of passionate strangers who rescue each other
From a lifetime of cares
Because if love means forever, expecting nothing returned
Then I hope I'll be given another whole lifetime to learn.
Because you gave to me oh so many things it makes me wonder
How they could belong to me
And I gave you only my dark eyes that melted your soul down
To a place where it longs to be.
