FORBIDDEN LOVE
The middle ages 1115 BC:
The tragic story of Abelard and Heloise ends with his castration and her becoming a nun. But before that, they had a lot of fun.
Abelard and Heloise
[Abelard]
Her mind is as sharp as a razor blade,
but it’s her curves that make me fade,
I´m madly in love with my Heloise,
she blows my mind and bends my knees.
I am a man, I´m god´s creation,
I don´t fear anything (except castration),
Knowledge and philosophy,
all these things belong to me,
and most of all ....so does she !
[Heloise]
His mind may shine, his words may impress,
but he becomes speechless when I undress.
He matches my mind intellectually,
I shout "OH MY GOD" - that´s theology ...
He is my man, he´s god´s creation,
in the study or in bed, a real sensation,
Knowledge and philosophy
all these things he teaches me,
and more than that .... he learns from me.
[Heloise and Abelard]
The social norms in our medieval time,
are prudish beyond compare,
our love’s considered a sinful crime,
so we are having a secret affair.
Passion and love are both God's creation,
why aren’t we allowed to have a relation?
Hugging, kissing openly,
not just cuddling secretly —
You crave all that? -- So do we!
To hell with your society, the uptight rules of piety,
you claim to be right --- So do we!
