Paroles

[Verse 1]

Dear Kitty!!!

I wonder if it’s because I haven’t been able

to poke my nose outdoors for so long

that I’ve become so crazy for everything to do with nature!

I can perfectly well remember when the sky, birds,

moonlight, flowers, could never have kept me spellbound ...

That’s changed since I’ve been here.

Nearly every morning I go to the attic where Peter works,

to blow the stuffy air from my lungs.

[Verse 2]

From my favorite spot on the floor,

I look up at the blue sky and the bare chestnut tree

on whose branches little raindrops glisten like silver ...

and at the seagulls as they glide on the wind.

[Verse 3]

As long as this exists ...

and I may live to see it ...

this sunshine ... these cloudless skies,

while this lasts, I cannot be unhappy.

[Verse 4]

The sun is shining, the sky is a deep blue ...

there is a lovely breeze and I’m longing,

so longing for everything.

To talk, for freedom, for friends ... to be alone ...

and I do so long to cry.

I feel as if I’m going to burst ...

and I know it would get better with crying, but I can’t.

I’m restless,

I go from one room to the other,

breathe through the crack of a closed window,

feel my heart beating, as if it is saying,

“Can’t you satisfy my longings at last?”
