You Will Be Mine (Not-at-all-literal translation of 'Tu Seras À Moi')

I gaze into the night without seeing the moon
Which gleams palely down upon me, and illuminates my pen.
I cannot sleep, I cannot rest, I only think of you-
And pray fervently that you're awake, and thinking of me too.

I move my world to catch your eye- you never seem to see-
From your soft lips, there never falls a loving word for me.
Don't leave me, angel, please; believe that all I say is true:
I'd die without a second thought if I could be with you.

As cunning as the fox in all his haughty majesty,
You sway, you dance just like a flame; your body poetry
Healing me, destroying me is everything you do
Yet nothing changes. Still I dream bright dreams of life with you.

I'll go, I'll leave the village to forget, won't shed a tear
Hoping always to return. I'll wait a month, I'll wait a year-
Your careless gaze, your apathy is tearing me apart,
But I hope, one day, you'll let me in, and I'll possess your heart.
