From music and words, from reality and dreams

You have skillfully knitted a captivating pattern,
From music and words, from reality and dreams ...
Anxiety and sorrow leave the soul,
When I hear you ... When you sing ...

Your magic voice sounds like a revelation,
When one soul talks to another
And every sound soars in an enchanting circle,
And every breath captivates with magical purity ...

I want to be silent ... And listen to a gentle voice,
Listening with all my soul to the moments of beauty ...
And I'm afraid to break that dream with trembling tears,
When I hear you ... When you sing ...
