Penélope [English translation]

01

Penelope

With her brown leather handbag

And her high-heeled shoes

And her dress of Sunday

02

Penelope

She sits on a bench on the platform

And waits for the first train to arrive

Shaking the fan

03

People from the town say that a traveler stopped his watch

In the afternoon of a spring

04

Goodbye, my love, don’t weep for me, I will return

Before the willows fall their leaves

Think of me, I will return for you

05

Poor miserable woman

Your youth stopped

In a leaden afternoon of April

When your lover went away

06

Withered in her garden

Until the last flower

There is not even a willow on the main street

For Penelope

07

Penelope

They are sad after so much waiting

But your eyes seem to glow

If a train whistles in the distance

08

Penelope

One after another she sees them passing

She looks at their faces, She hears them talking

They are dolls for her

09

People from the town say that the traveler returned

He found her on the bench of raw pine

10

He called her : ”Penelope, my faithful lover, my peace

Quit weaving dreams in your mind any longer

Look at me, I am your love, I have returned ”

11

She smiled at him

With eyes full of yesterday

His face and his skin were not like that

"You are not the one I'm waiting for"

12

And she stayed

With her brown leather handbag

And her high-heeled shoes

Sitting in the station
