Aabye's Baby
SINGING IN THE RAIN
for Marin Sorescu

The fingers of the rain are tapping at the windows
Many times I send my thought ahead
to examine the landscape
and then to wait for me as for a dog.

The fingers of the rain are tapping at the windows
I can't sing anymore
I can't manage the words
neither the flower
nor the car
nor the oxencart.
I can't manage to can

And the fingers of the rain are lapping at the windows
They are taking
my eyes away
through the glass
for a walk
Come on, my darling and clean into myself.
