XVI
Play the music all night long,
Let the moon hear my song
Let the sun shine when I dance
Hoping for another chance
From my lover, from the man
Which I surely know so well
Because I danced with him when
He was sad, at the beach as well
As at the foot of the mountains,
In the green forest with birds.
There he told me all the words
Of eternal love and blessing.
Music show us all your faces
Let us follow all your traces
Let us understand you better
As we did until now, your letter
Should always guide us
And make us dance
All around the universe
And all around the stars, though
It could seem difficult sometimes
When sorrow is in your lines.
You try to comfort us then
Repeating the life’s refrain:
Always fight and struggle,
Always sing and dance
Get like this your best chance
And do not make any bargain!
