That first night of May,
When I wrote this letter,
I was feeling sad and I felt like
Shutting myself away in my house.
Freedom is a treacherous friend
And she's abandoned me.
I want to hear it from your lips.
Here I find myself moored to my luck,
In the harbour of uncertainty.
With a splinter from a mast,
Piercing my soul.
And if it hurts to let myself groan,
To hear you console me.
I want to hear it from your chapped lips,
Where your kisses escape.
I want to hear it from your lips.
You already know it's not that difficult to knock me down,
But on the ground I can't fall any further.
I’m biding my time and getting stronger.
And I swear that one day I will get up.
I want to hear it from your lips.
The wolves work quickly through the night.
And I have played the camp of night as well as the camp of day.
When my life ends like a rusty piece of junk,
I will remember your consolation and your kisses.
I want to hear it from your lips.
