Lena [English translation]

Hot, relentlessly hot

Much too hot for early September

Of course, Lena, I know:

You are right, except that doesn't change a thing

It feels like sitting in the sauna

There's the scent of you in the air, as is the scent of hay

I wonder what you're wearing underneath, if anything at all

Every now and then you pass me way too close

Lena, Lena, Lena, Lena, tell me: What can I say?

Lena, Lena, Lena, Lena, tell me: What are we waiting for?

Silence, absolute silence

Only a fly has taken the bait

A lot, an infinite lot

Has been said, then crumbled into words

A reddish cat was worth fifteen minutes of patience

Down in the valley a train is on time

The faintest touch of wind, a couple of dark clouds on the horizon

Lena, listen:

We've been tormenting ourselves enough

And when lightning strikes, we're counting while we're

Waiting for the thunder and for the very first drops, heavy like lead

Come with me outside, Lena, the rain was made for us

And dance with me, and scream if you have to
