Avrai [English translation]

You'll have smiles on your face like crickets and stars in August

Photographed stories in a leather-bound album

Roars of supersonic jets that raise heads

And the darkness at dawn that turns silver in the windowpane

You'll have a telephone nearby that already signals waiting

The foam of wild waves that trail one another at sea

And white trousers to show it's already summer

A train for America without stops

You'll have two sweeter tears to dry

A dying sun and shellfish catchers

And mountain snow and hillside rain

You'll have an ice-cream stick to suck

You'll have an innocent belle and young pain

Boulevards of leaves aflame to set your heart alight

And you'll have a seat to perch upon, and hours

Empty as a chocolate egg

And a friend who'll have let you down; betrayed, deceived you...

[Chorus]

You'll have, you'll have, you'll have

Your time to go far

You'll walk, forgetting; you'll pause, dreaming

And you'll have, you'll have, you'll have

The same sad hope of mine

And you'll feel you haven't ever loved enough

If love, love you'll have...

You'll have new words to look for when evening comes

And a hundred bridges to cross to make the railing ring

The first cigarette that fumes up a bit of a cough

Christmases of holly and red candles

You'll have a job to toil over

Mornings drenched in shivers and dewdrops

Amusement arcades and pebbles in the streets

You'll have memories, umbrellas, and keys to forget

And you'll have caresses to speak with canines

And it will always be Sunday tomorrow

And you'll have dialogues enclosed within, and hands

That rummage through the pockets of life

And a radio to learn that the war is over...

[Chorus]
