Let us be in love

 

Let us,

beside all these walls,

for a mad, fleeting moment,

be in love.

So the earth remembers

that rain still falls,

and the naked elm branch

still keeps the warmth of a bird.

The acacia blossom

longs for your pendant

and counts the moments.

Let us,

for a reckless moment,

be in love —

be in love.

Let us,

amid all this dust,

for a mad, fleeting moment,

be in love.

So dew may rest on clover,

the sky may see your rainbow gaze

on the city’s weary shoulders,

and pain and lies

may fade away.

Let us,

with all this heart-weariness,

be in love.

Let a canary sing,

let golden grapes dance

at the touch of your hands,

let joy return

to lonely streets.

Let us, my beloved,

once more —

madly —

be in love.
