Through the midnight air and densly woven trees The stars are seen to to sparkle and to gleam, Hearts' pounding interrups the gentle breeze - Oh, take it easy through those dense trees!
Nearby a stream meanders ahead, There where flowers rest in flower beds, That's where courtship awaits and no one sees - Oh, take it easy through those dense trees!
I'll fall, I'll die, my soul's aflame, It will melt me by the break of day, Like a flake of snow at fifty degrees - Oh, take it easy through those dense trees!
Listen, I'll tell you my secret: Never leave me alone when music plays. It could seem to me that some eyes gray are so deep and soft, the eyes that are actually plain. It could seem to me that I dive into the sound and I could give my hands to anyone around. It could seem to me so easy, so gay to love someone for only one day. Or, I could tell someone my dearest, magically growing secret how much I love you. Oh, never leave me alone when music plays. It could seem to me that again, somewhere in a forest, my tears flow through a new well. It could seem to me that a black butterfly makes patterns on heavy water-- those that no one feels free to tell. It could seem to me that somewhere in the dark zone someone sings and with a bitter flower touches my heart where the incurable wound stays. Oh, never leave me alone, never alone, when music plays.
While watching all these early buds and swallows, I can feel tonight that my heart’s slowly growing over sorrows as someone’s horizon on smiley days might; That it’s getting bigger like all plants around and as light as feather, and that all happiness that’s above the ground and a Hell of pain wouldn’t really matter:
It’s longing for all things that a life as such could give nice to thy, and completely nothing wouldn’t be too much-- it’s eager desire and hopes are so high. Everything that’s happened has been just a play of my heart on fire; my true love has never been given away as much as I could and as I desire;
There are, in my deeps, gentle tides of words never let outside; I could give my heart to everyone on worlds, yet, it would remain a lot of it inside.
