Dreams Come True

You live, you live, and so you dream, 
It didn't seem serious. 
Then suddenly you vaguely understand, 
What is not a dream is a curiosity. 

You dream to live sweetly, without haste, 
But the trouble is, you don't know how. 
And suddenly I see that the girlfriend 
A new ring and a new marriage. 

And I want the same, even better… 
And I want love, warmth… 
And you think of the lost youth, 
Whom I loved as much as I could. 

Recognition, fame, and prosperity 
Not at all what we want 
Our world, still a little shaky, 
And we understand-not that we honor. 

And you live like this in a measured way 
Dreams come true when you don't wait 
When it seemed that all was lost, 
But it came true, and it is not clear how?
