My Love, I'm Sorry Not To Have Written You Sooner
Even Though I Always Wanted To, I Could Not
What Can I Say? I'm A Little Slow
It Took Me All These Years To Learn Your Beautiful Language
And Still Not Well Enough

So I Offer You My First Attempt
A Simple Song Which Says Only That I Love You

Already Problems Present Themselves:
Your Reflexive Pronouns,
Your Accords [of Gender And Number]
Your Accents
Not To Mention Your Subjunctive
That Fascinating, Esoteric, Impenetrable Mystery
Which For The Moment I Don't Need To Use
Because My Love Is So Certain

(Chorus)

Let's Pass Our Nights Whispering,
Conjugating Your Beautiful Verbs
Let's Begin - You Have So Many:
I Live, You Live, We Will Live
I Love, You Love, We Will Love
To Leave, To Return, To Stay
And, Of Course, To Whisper
I Love You
