In Cemetery of Love

In cemetery of love we are not alone,
There are many of us who have passed days in love,
And just like the moths, attracted to fire,
Naive, we died, scorched by desire.

It's quiet like in Eden, no nightingale is heard,
We've since been long forgotten, forgotten you and I.

You can call or not from night until dawn,
You can waken me up from night until dawn,
You can beg or not from night until dawn,
The moths were burned, the nightingales stopped!

It's quiet like in Eden, no nightingale is heard,
We've since been long forgotten, forgotten you and I.
... No sound is heard of nightingale in cemetery of love ...

Yes, you're right. The language is beautiful - it's a pity you don't know it. Thanks for your prompt response.

It's beautiful and very touching. :) While on my travels in my birthland of Ireland, my husband and I were motor biking along and found a beautiful, secluded and small cemetery. We had a few moments of love and afterwards, we gathered some flowers to put on the graves. They seemed brighter somehow with the flowers as though they seemed grateful that someone cared enough to stop and leave a nice offering of remembrance. :)
