Oh, Sweet Girl With The Loveliest Voice

Being strong takes effort, being weak is easy 
to fall for certain wishes that excite senses,
and a growing boy has many temptations
not related to a sweet cinnamon apple pie!

Oh, sweet girl with the loveliest voice
live without worries, run past meadows
where lively thoughts speed up footsteps;
living without fantasy is a hard choice! 

Boys your age don't really have any dream,
they play the sport that suits their taste;
they have seen people's faces that gleam
from a delusion or dream that went to waste!

Oh, sweet girl with the loveliest voice...
chase after sunsets to find that eternal joy;
we both have dreamed but very differently:
I'll write your story in beautiful prose! 


Sit down, I'll unlock the magical key to success,
considering I've failed, toy would look down on me;
It's in failures that we learn to get better and disagree:
you can avoid those unnecessary risks, never play chess!

Oh, sweet girl with the loveliest voice,
don't imitate me, life has been a total struggle;
nobody held me in my loneliness, this bruise
never heals, neve busts into a bubble!

I waste no breath on silly matters, I tell it straight,
pay attention in every detail, wisdom you must use:
let no regret make you bitter, listen with attentive heart:
after you have lived and wasted all: what else did you lose?
