Touched by you, a bud bloomed into a flower,
Touched by you, a bud bloomed into a flower,
A flower I became, then youth's sweet hour,
Youth's hour, then wine, a potent power.
A fire to scorch the world, in flames I tower,
Touched by you, a bud bloomed into a flower.
You kissed me, before the world's wide gaze,
You kissed me, before the world's wide gaze,
A maiden once, in innocent ways,
A maiden, yet now, in tarnished haze,
A fire to scorch the world, in burning blaze,
Touched by you, a bud bloomed into a flower.
Read me as often as your heart desires,
Read me as often as your heart desires,
Today, I am love's sacred fires,
Today, I am love's sacred fires,
A book of love, that endlessly inspires,
A fire to scorch the world, in burning pyres,
Touched by you, a bud bloomed into a flower.
A flower I became, then youth's sweet hour,
Youth's hour, then wine, a potent power.
A fire to scorch the world, in flames I tower,
Touched by you, a bud bloomed into a flower.
