In the night there are of course the seven wondersA
of the world and the greatness tragedy and enchantmentB
Forests collide with legendary creatures hiding in thicketsC
There is youD
In the night there are the walker's footsteps the murderer'sA
the town policeman's light from the street lamp and the ragman's lanternE
There is youD
In the night trains go past and boatsF
and the fantasy of countries where it's daytime The last breathsG
of twilight and the first shivers of dawnH
There is youD
A piano tune a shoutI
A door slams A clockJ
And not only beings and things and physical soundsK
But also me chasing myself or endlessly going beyond meL
There is you the sacrifice you that I'm waiting forM
Sometimes at the moment of sleep strange figures are born and disappearN
When I shut my eyes phosphorescent blooms appear and fadeO
and come to life again like fireworks made of fleshP
I pass through strange lands with creatures for companyL
No doubt you are there my beautiful discreet spyQ
And the palpable soul of the vast reachesR
And perfumes of the sky and the stars the song of a roosterS
from years ago and piercing screams in a flaming park and kissesR
Sinister handshakes in a sickly light and axles grinding on paralyzing roadsT
No doubt there is you who I do not know who on the contrary I do knowU
But who here in my dreams demands to be felt without ever appearingV
You who remain out of reach in reality and in dreamW
You who belong to me through my will to possess your illusionX
but who brings your face near mine only if my eyes are closed in dream as well asY
in realityL
You who in spite of an easy rhetoric where the waves die on the beachZ
where crows fly into ruined factories where the wood rotsA2
crackling under a lead sunX
You who are at the depths of my dreams stirring up a mindB2
full of metamorphoses leaving me your gloveC2
when I kiss your handD2
In the night there are stars and the shadowy motion of the seaL
of rivers forests towns grass and the lungsE2
of millions and millions of beingsF2
In the night there are the seven wonders of the worldG2
In the night there are no guardian angels but there is sleepH2
In the night there is youD
In the daylight tooD
