От страсти у мужчины кровь бурлила...

И женщина, с улыбкой на устах,...

Сказала, что себя бы разрешила

Поцеловать, но только в 2-х местах.


О, мужики - святая простота!

Он к женщине предвинулся поближе

И попросил быстрей назвать места.

Она сказала: ...в Риме и в Париже

The man's blood was boiling with passion...
Translation
English

Target language: English

The man's blood was boiling with passion...
And with a smile on her lips, the woman
Said that there were two places only
Where she would let him kiss her.

Oh, men, the holy simplicity!
He moved up to the woman
And asked her to name the places right away.
She said... Rome and Paris.

I am not sure about this:
Said that there were two places only
Where she would let him kiss her.

Есть пара ошибок, но это не мешает воспринять правильно смысл перевода.

Yes, I'm not totally sure about that either, Cinderella, but I can't think of another way to translate the word play: places in the world confused with areas of the body. Any ideas?

"...where she would allow herself to kiss him"

"...and asked HER to name the places..."

ViaLuminosa, thanks! The second suggestion is great, I'm using it.
But your first suggestion doesn't seem to be correct: there's nothing about kissing him in the Russian text, it's all about kissing her. "Себя бы разрешила поцеловать"...
