Milady

Years go by, they pass...
Kids grow up, they grow...

You return like a shiver
on this stage
but I feel you’re shy, shy

You who held all the strings of my heart
with such gentle hands
that I only felt a little pain...

I haven’t seen you cry anymore
I haven’t seen you laugh anymore
you were a fragile voice, fragile

We stopped making up words
never finding the one that meant
living, living

Milady, don’t ever leave me,
I love you just the way you are,
Milady, mother, lover, and daughter,
the only one who looks like me;
Milady, stop drinking,
I’ll smash that glass over your head,
you’re old but look like a kid,
and you still dress like a queen,
Milady, a drop on a leaf
Milady... I don’t want this anymore...

Have I changed? Tell me;
are you different? Talk to me,
you’ve always been so small, so small:

I lost you and felt like a winner,
there was never a way
to change you for anything like you;

I didn’t sell you my soul,
leave me alone, just leave me,
how stupid I feel, stupid:

I want a more real love story,
a woman who talks to me
and waits for me at night, just go,
just go

Milady, don’t ever leave me,
what would I do without you,
Milady, powder under your eyes,
Milady, lost in mirrors;
Milady, you have no voice and sing,
in a theater with the lights out,
Milady, a soap bubble,
and a balcony dancer:
Milady, the heart is a little soldier
writing letters to no one

Milady, don’t ever leave me,
I’ll always love you just the way you are,
Milady, the streets of Paris,
Christmas with the three wise men;
Milady, I lost your pin...
Milady, God, how beautiful you are...

Years go by, they pass...
kids grow up, they grow...
