[English]

Quiet nights of quiet stars quiet chords from my guitar

Floating on the silence that surrounds us

Quiet thoughts and quiet dreams quiet walks by quiet streams

And a window looking on the mountains and the sea, how lovely

This is where i want to be here with you so close to me

Until the final flicker of life's ember

I who was lost and lonely believing life was only

A bitter tragic joke, have found with you, the meaning of existence, oh my love

...

I who was lost and lonely believing life was only

A bitter tragic joke, have found with you, the meaning of existence, oh my love
