Well-educated and polite,
Sincere, friendly, honest, kind,
She's only twenty, she's a child
Whose heart is brave and open wide.
She is artistic, skillful, bright.
Her voice is warm, her smile is mild.
And any fellow by her side
Would be so happy. She knows that.
She knows she is a perfect girl.
She knows she is a rare pearl.
She is and she will be the best
Both for her lover and her friends.
I am just thirty. Am I old?
I've never been and I'm not bold
Like this young beauty. I'm too shy.
And she is like a butterfly.
I envy her `cause in her years
My eyes were always filled with tears.
I was unhappy as my life
Was only hospitals and blood.
A helpless, fat and clumsy nerd,
I had few friends and I preferred
Books as the real people
Could only pity me or giggle
At my odd clothes and my odd face.
In the whole world there wasn't a place
Where I could be relaxed, not tense
And feel self-confident and safe.
No parties, only stress and shame -
That was my life. Is it the same?
Maybe, it is. But I can't say
That I'm unhappy. I'm OK.
I have no heaps of gold, but friends
And family. And they make sense.
So I do choose to live and love
And be close to my sweetheart's heart.
