Maybe you don't know it, but you sleep amidst my fingers
The fingers where swallows snuggle their nests
And where reddish fruits grow and secrets
of the smallest things of my being are hidden
Maybe you don't know it, but there is
A forest of leaves, always in blossom
A forest where I can't find you and become sad
But to look for you in there once more is enough to rejoice me
Oh my love, who knows whether you know it or not
that I exist in you or that I am only a long waiting
Or that I am just like these words and birds
that sing about your name all the time
Maybe you don't know it, but I swear I do love you,
and I've built our home over the sea
and it's only you the one I ask for and call on
when the night wraps its wings over me
Maybe you can't understand it but the wind has been
whispering around you all my messages
And that I see an sunset in my thoughts
When the days are bright blue and perfumed
Oh my love, who knows whether you know it or not
that I exist in you or that I am only a long waiting
Or that I am just like these words and birds
that sing about your name all the time
