My sincere attempt at transcreation of the original -

In the youth of roaring twenties we were lovers
In the experience of the serene fifties we are still lovers
Certainly this is one truth that runs through life
As we grow older, our love grows younger
Each day that I am with you is a source of joy
You're the inspiration that guides me
Inside you am I and inside me are you
For you I am and for me are you
Skillful and sweet
You conquer me with those sidelong glances
and become sweeter still
After all these years, the memory of that first kiss is still a bliss
Our unbound love will lead us together ... till the end
My dear friend and eternal love!

Regards! - mOhana
