German term
Das Begehren: Der Liebe Kraft geben
German to English
Marketing
Advertising / Public Relations
advertising slogan
Es geht um ein Poster, mit dem ein "Sexualtonikum" beworben wird. Ganz oben zentriert steht DAS BEGEHREN darunter das Bild einer blutroten Rose, darunter der Text DER LIEBE KRAFT GEBEN gefolgt von einem Bild des Tonics und dessen Namen.
Hab auch schon eine Übersetzung (The Desire - Power your love life), nur stört mich bei meiner Variante irgendwie der Artikel "the". Ohne "the" schaut's aber auch blöd aus. Habt Ihr noch eine bessere Idee?
Ach ja, dringend ist's auch noch!

Desire
Definitiv ohne Artikel.
Vgl. A. J. Thomson, A. V. Martinet, "A Practical English Grammar", p. 5 ff., Omission of the definite article: "The definite article is NOT used: ... before abstract nouns except when they are used in a particular sense: Men fear death. BUT The death of the Prime Minister left his party without a leader."

Quest
Of course it means "Desire", as OctopusP says - but I think you knew that. I think "Quest" looks nice without article, and it comes close to what I think is intended here:
an act or instance of seeking: a : PURSUIT, SEARCH b : a chivalrous enterprise in medieval romance[..]

depends on what you think the point is - in marketing it's hard to know
