Daylight broke and I found out you were planning a long trip
My heart escaped out of your luggage
And it stayed just to fill me with memories
Daylight broke and the old rooster that would crow at the window
Today did not because you did not open in the morning
And even the wind returned because you were not here
You are the little brook that bathes my cabin
You are the negative of my soul's photograph
You are holy water that flows from my crop
You are that little ray [of light] that heats up my nest
It's late afternoon and my heart opens its album in silence
An accordion prints up the mementos
And composes a song also to make you come back
It's late afternoon and the brightness of my cabin is gone
I do not feel any light in the corners of my soul
Because I no longer have all that you carry within you
You are the little brook that bathes my cabin
You are the negative of my soul's photograph
You are holy water that flows from my crop
You are that little ray [of light] that heats up my nest
I just want to possess your love
I just want to possess your laughter
To find you and give you back your heart
And that you keep me company for the rest of my life
