When you came, you were like red wine and honey,
And the taste of you burnt my mouth with its sweetness.
Now you are like morning bread,
Smooth and pleasant.
I hardly taste you at all for I know your savour,
[But]1 I am completely nourished.

Nel decimo anniversario
Language: Italian (Italiano)  after the English
Al nostro primo incontro, eri come rosso vino e miele
E il tuo sapore bruciava le mie labbra per la sua dolcezza.
Ora tu sei, per me, come il pane caldo al mattino,
buono e fragrante.
Ora ti assaggio appena, il tuo sapore lo conosco bene
Ma per me resti un completo nutrimento.
