Mea Culpa! Mea Culpa!
I sinned? out of pride
To have everything? me
In a simple wink of an eye.
Mea culpa!
I have sinned? out of desire
To give myself? you
By giving you my life.
Mea culpa!
And then out of greed,
Illuminated by the brightness of your eyes,
I saw your mouth and I felt gray
[I drank endlessly? your exquisite lips]?
... and I drank fire!
I sinned? out of laziness
When I knew your arms,
Cradle of my caresses.
Mea culpa!
May those who have never sinned?
Me cast the first stone.
Let those who have never loved
Deny me a prayer.
I have sinned? out of anger
Against you, against me,
Against the whole earth.
Mea culpa!
I have sinned? out of lust,
Every evening, in your arms,
But my soul was pure.
Mea culpa!
And then out of greed,
I hidden? in the depths of my heart
To better adore you there with delight
Shelt from thieves.
So, you see,
I have sinned? the seven times
Just that? because of you.
Mea culpa!
But one day,
If you asked me,
Oh! my love!
...I would do it again.
Mea culpa! Mea culpa!
