I’m rain and you – you are the Sun,

Attractive, always having fun.

You make all people melt near you,

Heartbreaker, unawares, it’s true!

 

You are the Sun and  I am rain.

You’re hot, that’s why you cause me pain.

One smile from you can make me glad,

Your smile is rare, that’s why I’m sad.

 

Yes, Sun and rain, they rarely meet,

Still happens that they sometimes greet.

Must be apart, though souls are one

And so, when rain is near the Sun

 

A wonderful rainbow, always worth seeing

As a symbol of consistency comes into being.

How come that I’m so fool, so fool –

Just can’t help thinking about you.

How come you’re always on my mind,

It’s peace that I now want to find.

You’ve got real infuence on me

Though you’re so far, please, set me free.

 

I’m striving for your admiration,

Your love for me is my creation.

I guess ...I guess you even might

At once when I am out of sight

Forget me quite indifferently –

Why do I think of you then gently?

 

I’m young, my daily thoughts have gone,

Instead I feel like some John Donne.

Near you I sharply feel my age

But I can turn another page

When, far away, I think of you,

Then seems like I’m of your age, too.

 

At first I need to learn so much,

Must give my mind the final touch.

The only bridge from me to you

Is knowledge and „below the Moon“

There is no place for me and you,

I hoped so once, but I was fool.

Where is the happy angel

That used to live in me

So cheerful, calm and tender

So sweet it used to be

 

When was my soul abandoned

Who stole my luck and joy

I never can believe that man

For fate is just a toy

 

Oh, earlier I knew I was

At least it seemed to me

Invloved in life, a part of it

And in some way more free

 

Now everything is different

There is no pleasure left

And doing something for myself

Sometimes seems like a theft

 

The things that matter to me much

Are nonsense for the rest

And I can see no reason in

All that for them is best

 

 *

This day was like a happy end

To all that I have had

It brought me back my old good times

I once again was glad

Those words, those words ran in my head

That doleful melody

Your accidental slip of tongue

It told me much, you see

But time, how funny, changes all

There’s left no more to tell

Have I grown up or what is it

My prince of dreams, farewell
