Suzanne [English translation]

In her place along the river

Suzanne wanted you beside her

and now you hear the boats go by

now you can sleep beside her

Yes, you know she's crazy

but for this you are with her

And she offers you tea and oranges

which she brought from China

and when you are going to tell her

that you have nothing to give her

She's already on your wave

and makes the river answer

that you are always lovers.

And you want to travel with her

and you want to travel with her blind

And you know that you have touched her body

For you've touched her perfect body with your mind

And Jesus was a sailor

until he walked upon the water

And he remained a long time

watching alone

from his wooden tower

And when he knew for certain

only drowning men

could see him He said

"You will be sailors then until the sea will free you"

But he himself was broken,

but more human and abandoned

he did not sink into our mind

And you want to travel with him,

and you want to travel with blind

And maybe you'll trust him

Because he's touched your body with his mind

Now, Suzanne takes your hand

and she leads you to the river

She's wearing rags and feathers

taken in some dorm

And the sun pours down like honey

on the lady of the harbor

And she shows you the colours

in the garbage and the flowers

You find heroes in the rotten seaweed,

and children in the morning

They are leaning out for love

and they will do that forever

While Suzanne holds the mirror

And you want to travel with her,

and you want to travel with her blind

Because you know that she's touched your body

her perfect body with her mind
