We can't tell our life
From our wish. Really I began the day
Not with a man’s wish: ”May this day be different,”
But with the birds’ wish: “May this day
Be the same day, the day of my life.”
From our wish. Really I began the day
Not with a man’s wish: ”May this day be different,”
But with the birds’ wish: “May this day
Be the same day, the day of my life.”
