Where have you been playing, these hands that aren't mine?
Where have you been whiling away your time, these little feet that aren't mine?
Almost not mine.
And the spring is so earthly1
You are always on your own2
You've inserted a new key into the lock,
and I couldn't come in, I was just standing out in the rain,
kissing your footsteps, kissing the lock...
I've got completely soaked today.
And the spring is so earthly!
You are always on your own.
Where have you been playing, these little lips that aren't mine?
Where have you been whiling away, these sweet eyes that aren't mine?
From my nights, two days have fallen out.
And I've almost run out of my validolum3
And the spring is so earthly...
