Jack Vettriano / Leonard Cohen | Dance me to the end of love

Dance me to the wedding now
dance me on and on dance me very tenderly
and dance me very long we’re both of us beneath our love
we’re both of us above
dance me to the end of love

Conducimi alla cerimonia nuziale ora,
conducimi senza fermarti
Conducimi molto teneramente e molto a lungo
Siamo entrambi inferiori al nostro amore,
siamo entrambi superiori
Conducimi fino alla fine dell'amore
