I’m tired of playing hide-and-seek.
I must leave, and I even know where to go.
So that you can find me,
I’ve decided to lie down in your heart.
There I seem to sleep.
I hope you can hear me someday.
I live imploring very softly:
Come, let’s go back to the nest!
There, everything is grace.
There Cupid flutters,
trying to whisper in your ear
how beloved you are.
Your return has only one price.
I only want your affection.
Lay the first stone
and then a bridge will appear
that will connect you to the spring.
You can cross it,
to thus fetch
some of the living water
that will serve as a drink
for a long journey.
It is in your heart
that eternity dwells.
