Cling to my heart my lover
Through all the hours of night
And together let us battle
Against the dawning light.
Armed with fragrant garlands,
Arrayed in naked steel,
O how we’ll thrust and parry
And with a kiss we’ll seal
Our articles of empire
In a glittering embrace
When the union of our kingdoms
Will bring us face to face,
And from that time all shall see
The glorious light of you and me.
