The Flowers just like you

Like a breeze on a scorching day

I was refreshed by your full, trembling heart

Only an angel of light

Has a voice so soft


Oh! Honey, what would I not give?

Be with me on earth

But flowers just like you

Are shattered in the wind

Scatter without saying a word

 

I sit in the flowerbed

the shadow lengthens

My thoughts shudder again!

When he reads you again


I hear a rustle on my way

A stream hums notes

from a song with broken measures

I\'m dreaming, in my mind

I rinse so clearly

The voice i loved without borders

 

And when the dawn breaks

I hold an oak flower in my hand

To be able to know fully

the outstretched wing of meekness


And when the sun goes down

Blackening the right horizon

I see you sick in bed

dying slowly, slowly

Tears starting to fall

they give birth to chains of light

 

Thinking that one day

I\'ll see you again, it gives me strength

To parry the sword that swings to reap my soul

Like a wheat ear

 

Will the soul remain in the cold body?

Or get up and leave

At the port to the stars

The moon\'s rays to wash it

 

A tornado lifts you 

To step on the cloud lift

Among the abysses, among the straits

Star dust, you leave behind

 

Open the sky for me

to be able to see your gentle light

when the moon is a miracle

and be with me!

 


Go down a starry ladder

Come with a gem in your forehead

Don\'t change your appearance!

Because it\'s as fresh as spring.
