Here it is translated by Google Translate, just for kicks and giggles:

    No I love you as if you were a rose of salt, topaz or arrow of carnations that propagate fire: I love you as one loves certain dark things, secretly, between the shadow and the soul.

    I love you as the plant that never blooms but carries within himself, hidden, in the light of those flowers, and thanks to your love, darkly in my body lives the dense fragrance that rises from the earth.

    I love you without knowing how, or when, or from where I love you directly without problems or pride: I love you and because I can not love otherwise,

    But so this way no I or you, so intimate that your hand upon my chest is my hand, so close that your eyes close as I fall asleep.
