The Dull Flames of Desire

[guttaperk]

I love your eyes, my dear
their splendid, sparkling fire
when suddenly you raise them so
to cast a swift embracing glance

like lightning flashing in the sky
but there’s a charm that is greater still:
when my love’s eyes are lowered
when all is fired by passions kiss

and through the downcast lashes
I see the dull flame of desire
Björk, The Dull

Are these just different translations of the same lyrics? Same verse?

[guttaperk]

Yes.
It's from Russian, so... translation is re-creation, anyway.
