It is a one-night trade
for a small portion of the moon
should you want to kiss
a little of the moon
[last 4 lines x2]
In a moon's boat
you must go across
You must row softly,
without stirring the waters

Water … water …
gather the rosy stars,
select all
Water … water …
So that you gather all folds
of the body stricken by pains

embracing the coast
It undulates, and, in passion,
kisses the face of the moon

From my chest, smoke is rising
Water … water … water … water
What is the smoke writing on the wall?
Slow … slow … slow, the smoke …
the smoke is saying this every time:
Water … water …
