Serge Reggiani - Of velvet and silk

Original Title: "De velours et de soie"
Text: Boris Vian
Year: 1964

Wild flowers
Oceans of the world
Blond islands
Had always tempted me

Done the big travels
Done the orange skies
All the odd shivers
You have given those to me

Of velvet and silk
Like your perfumed skin
Of light and velvet
Like your eyes

Of rose and light
Like the taste of your mouth
Of blood and fresh rose
Like your cheeks

Of fire, gold and blood
Like a kiss you give to me
Of silver, fire and gold
Like your body which gives itself

Of sun and silver
Your hair in the purple wind
Of pleasure and sun
Like a night in your arms.
