Zywa In the sweet smell of summer flowers

My parents are away, we can go
to bed, but not even with an excuse

do I dare to go in the direction
of my room with you

or take your hand without
saying anything, because

do you want it too, and what face
should I have? That's why

a whole line of neighbours are our witnesses
that we let fly the thought of naked kisses

and lightly floating in love
With full attention

we alternately strike it off
playing badminton

in the sweet smell of summer flowers

Yes, that's what dreams do,

I feel something that isn't there --


no longer there: you.


Ja, dat doet een droom,Ja, das macht ein Traum,
ik voel iets dat er niet is --ich fühle, was nicht da ist --

er niet meer is: jij.nicht mehr da ist: dich.

Sometimes, in the dark,

love is all of a sudden --


far beside itself.


Soms, in het donker,Manchmal, im Dunkeln,
is ineens het houden van --ist auf einmal die Liebe --

niet meer te houden.völlig außer sich.

Keep love intact, and

pay attention to whether --


it is still breathing.


Houd je liefde heel,Halt die Liebe ganz,
en let daarbij heel goed op --und achte genau darauf --

of ze nog ademt.ob sie noch atmet.

The water scales off

sleazily wild and the rocks --


gasp with the swinging.


Het water schilfertSchlampig wild schuppt sich
slonzig wild en van deining --das Wasser und vor Dünung --

hijgen de rotsen.keuchen die Felsen.
