I saw, then went crazy!
Eternal youth, oh my vulnerable spirit
A breath blowing from the fires of death
Like snow, will I fall on the ashes.

I saw, then went crazy!
Such black hair, in a man
Why not in an animal?
As virile as a black tulip!

I saw, then went crazy!
I am flirtatious for some
For others an icicle of silver
But when I kiss, no one can judge me.

I saw, then went crazy!
Yet I have not learned anything.
I’m afraid, I hate, I’m in love.
He’s got under my skin, leaving not a single trace behind.

I saw, then went crazy!
Silence everywhere, how startled I am
I’ve lost my eyes, my mouth, my face
Birds have sworn not to fly anymore
And there is

MY LOVE IN THE SKIES
