Ballade à la pluie

How sweet was that rain
That flowed over our love
Carrying us on the velvet
Of a universe of poetry

How sweet was that rain
That today breaks my heart
Whispering the litanies
The litanies of a heart in tears
How sad is this rain

How sweet was that rain
That gifted me a rainbow
When it married the Sun
To the blue sun of your sky-like eyes

How sweet was that rain
That flooded us with tenderness
When we made it the promise
To love each other for all our lives
How sad is this rain
