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?”
