Per Lucia [English translation]

Good evening, when you come

You will put off the winter

And hang it.

You will have two hands,

So big as a forest

And a tranquillity after a storm.

Find for Lucia the most whitest sheet

And then begin:

I would like to tie her hair

With a wind's thread.

For Lucia

There will be the most fullest moon

But it will be not enough:

Continuing I would like

A wheat field

Sometimes to lull her.

Good night, when you turn off lights

You will put on stars and you will dream,

You will have a calm sea

In which you will navigate,

And silence

When you will want to talk.

For Lucia, so delicate,

I will be her shadow

Drown on the road.

I would like to open doors for her

Which close the world.

With Lucia is just a little enough,

She fills with herself

The most empties day.

How much I would like to return a smile to her

On her a bit tired face.

What is there behind the wall?

Hold the breath and then fly up towards me,

The shots of gun are far now.

Let's open the sky with hands.

For Lucia a long life

And a river water for each wound.

I would like a bright light,

The most greatest holiday

For all the country.

For a scared Lucia

Let this pen become a sward,

With Lucia next to me

Let the story continue

On the next page.
