In a Byzantine harem Where, seeking paradise, I`d disguised myself as a dog, A slave told me:
Me, I`d like heavy pearls Enamelled black pearls To be dumb, and almost deaf So that you`d soothe me with words Words which resemble the sea Words that one sees through Words of bitterness and love Tender words, severe words
Me, I`d like crowded rooms Where stretched out naked on all fours Encircled by dogs and chains Tasting mysterious liquors
Drinks of life and drinks of death Cups filled to the brim I place my moist and eager lips On the kneeling stools therein
Me I`d like a black slave With the white teeth, strong and cruel Who`d split my shackles wide And who`ll take me to the sky
In the damp languor of evening Me all white, and he all black He`d bite my body, sliding With a serpent slow...attack
Me, I`d like to be a young woman Behind glass and iron bars As pleasure takes my every breath Until sleep, until death
Beneath my purple-blue eyelids You know, I have only one thought To be a woman, yes, it`s true To be a real woman
God.....please...please
