Flutiebear: Rambling My Way Through Thedas

You’ve never missed an appointment in your life.
So why are you absent tonight?
I’m so confused. What has kept you away from me?
Full of hope, I wait for you.

I lay awake, my love, waiting for you to come
So that I can keep you awake all this night.
Come, come, come!
Let us live the passion of a lifetime tonight.
Don’t let our passion wait until tomorrow!
Don’t let our happiness wait until tomorrow.

Because tonight is our first night,
Is a night of love.
Come, let us ease our hearts’ longing.
Our whole lives have been longing for this night.

My love—
You are the beat of my heart
and the light of my life.
You are my night’s smile, its dreams and its memories;
Here our world stops and finds its peace.
I and the entire world
miss you.
The spring, the flowers, the water well,
the soft breath of night
they are all here together with me
and we wait for you—
We all ache with longing for you.
Come to us, all those who adore you;
Come to my heart.
The evening’s passion calls to us—
Don’t let us suffer.
Don’t let us wait any longer for you.

Come, let us ease our hearts’ longing
Our whole lives have been longing for this night.

(Note: The version I link to is just the intro, I think; the full version is some 50 minutes long and includes the lovely lyrics quoted above.)
