 En média : Melanie - Together alone (live on Johnny Carson)

*


By chance of circumstances, seeking fresh air,

You cut grapes, your back hurts. A simple, ruthless fare.

Your empty head and your sweat as lone companions,

Just keep cutting those grapes – harmless, unlike onions.


Who knew? Amid those long green fields, at last, atone,

A long-awaited smile to stop feeling alone.

You cut, and cut, without a break, relentlessly,

While this saviour shines and takes you away, happy.


This region that welcomed you, the warming sunbeams,

Those people who suffer and follow the life streams;

You are in the right place, your vain regrets vanish,

You can thank all of them, having granted your wish:


For once again – and maybe more – you have enjoyed

Simple moments – they come and go –, keeping delayed

The hurdles that await. Josephine, it is fine,

Memories and precious people age like fine wine.
