my heart don't ever keep silent this flutter, this love!

good news! the sun has come back rose watchers 
hurray! for so many years by now 
I had no ill-willed leaf fall on my garden 
dream I had, I washed the nights in my sleep
I burned, its mast was made of a dark blue line
decayed, its sail cloths were patchy

now, all rivers to the sea!
blood, tips of nerves every one
kidney stones all to the sea!

I saw faces looking at the sea
their keys were between two eyebros
their path passed through two forests
towards my heart. My heart don't ever keep silent
this flutter, this love!
Hey, the one whose way of loving I love
Come on, to the sea.
