A week ago because of a certain mademoiselle
I was in a miserable shape
Smitten by betrayal a glass of poison I grabbed
To cock up my toes, that's what I wished
But the very same day, just inches above the water
a jewel of a woman I met by chance
and I said to myself: let's go on, let's have a ball,
to hell with the poison, let's live on
The sorrow's postponed, a change of date and time,
flight from shadows, I've made it.
The sorrow's postponed due to my indifference,
I stand before a paradise and I am glad.
The day before yesterday wasn't the greatest either
A waterfall ran down my flat
What to do, dear friends?
To jump out of a window?
But standing on the sill I peered at our small courtyard,
little boys were just playing marbles there,
so I galloped to them
and buried my grief.
The sorrow's postponed, a change of date and time,
flight from shadows, I've made it.
The sorrow's postponed due to my indifference,
I stand before a paradise and I am glad.
