UNIVERSAL COVENANT
Soon, very soon
we'll be one body -
you gave your hand
in mine forever.
You are my witness
that I get scared
and therefore tonight
my whole body trembles.
Every day and night, all the time
on one path -
uncharted.
Every day and night, all the time
together and alone
I'm faithful to you, to myself.
I love you tonight and with you I get sad
I love you tonight and with you I get excited,
till the heart, till pain -
hoping and getting closer.
Slowly
we'll gently discover
who am I, who are you
and maybe, just maybe we'll discover
to be lenient,
and to give more
until all that's left
is only our love
Every day and night...
I love you...
Soon, very soon
the light will rise
and I am drunk
and I want to remember you -
and to keep
until the end of days,
till we will pass
and the drum beat will cease.
