[English]
My home is a springtime memory
Of pale prayers without a God
My home is what’s left of the summer
Of that unbearable flood
And I understand that life reproaches me
For this unusual oldness of my heart
My home is a star that’s fading
How sadly it bids farewell to my voice
How sadly it bids farewell to my voice
My home is a garden deeply in love
...
That grows unbearably under the sun
My home is three laughs embracing
Spoken by those who know what love is
And I understand that life reproaches me
For this unusual oldness of my heart
My home is a star that’s fading
How sadly it bids farewell to my voice
How sadly it bids farewell to my voice
...
