A gray autumn morning
My twenty completed years
Me small young man,
My eyes were not any more
No longer responding
For fear of being with you
And I cried, and I cried
God knows how I envied you
I am so afraid of the unknown
And I cried, and I cried
I hated you so much
You who could contemplate
My life consequently collapses
Solitary in this crowd
I no longer have a reference mark
And as you I feel lost
All becomes dusk
Your faces dark
And I cried, and I cried
God knows how I envied you
I am so afraid of the unknown
And I cried, and I cried
I hated you so much
You who could contemplate
Then time passed away
My way I found
My sadness flew away
Leaving room to my voice
And even if I do not see any more
The day returned
One spring morning
The sun rose
And me little child
See without seeing
Walk without walking
A white cane at my sides
And I sang and I sang
God that I adored you
You who knew to guide me
And I sang, and I sang
Yes, I loved you so much
You who could listen to
