К Элоизе
Nautilus Pompilius
To Eloise
Blue oceans
Rivers filled with your love
I'll remember forever
You adored flowers
Unexplored lands
Maps of sunken ships
I'll leave on the stone
By your grave
I gave you roses
Roses from nightmare dreams
Dreams soaked in smoke
And flowers laced with poison
Even the mean dogs
Wouldn't dare bark out loud at night
When I read you stories
About hairy old hags
Sing, sing along with me
A scary tale I'll share with you
You and I, always together
On a yellow picture with a black frame
And in my hands, a saber
And in my teeth, a knife
We board a little boat
Setting off on our journey
Well then, my angel!
The sky in gray stripes
Like your glassy eyes
I'll close them forever
Tie them in knots
These silk ribbons
This plush beard
Everything will be instant
You'll die forever
Sleep, sleep, my Eloise!
I'll guard your dreams so tight
You, I, joy, sleep
The lights in the house have long gone out
I'll sing you a tale
Of sad love
Of a deaf queen
Of a blind king
Sleep, my angel!
