My soul

As airplanes and balloons fly high,
as the answer, sole and right,
fly, my soul, and give me a sign,
please, help me come to the light…

Forgive the stupid steps I’ve taken;
and give me one more chance.
My soul, please, stay awakened,
You see, too many sleep in a trance.

Stay active and never be idle,
let’s talk about something main.
With you no sorrow is my rival
with you I can break any chain!…

Please, my soul, spread your wings
and let's not talk of any defeat.
Life can bring so many things,
but some we’ll never repeat.

I can’t say what I failed to say long ago
Fatigue overcomes me, I yawn.
Stay for wine, and please don’t go,
and talk with me until the dawn…

With you, I dare the devil’s defiance.
And for me there is no mountain too high.
Some don't understand our alliance,
but I won't explain it, I won’t even try.

I try not to grieve over the trifles I’ve faced,
I’m getting stronger when you’re by my side.
Let's sleep together, safe, embraced,
And take care of me, be my guide...
