Nathalie [English translation]

the Red Square was hollow (empty)

in front of me was Nathalie walking

she has a beautiful name, my guide

nathalie

the red square was white

snow mades a carpet

and i continued in this cold sunday

nathalie

she spoke with modests senteces

about october's revolution

i alreday thought

that after Lenin fall

we would go to Pouchkine caffee

to drink a chocolate

the red square was empty

i have taken her arm, she has smiled to me

my guide had blonde hair

nathalie, nathalie

at the university room

a group of students

was waiting for her impatiently

we have laughted, we have talked a lot

thay wanted to know everything

nathalie translated

moscow, thw fields of ukraine

and the champs elisees

we haev mixed everything

and we have singed

and after they have unkorked ( a bottle i suppose)

we have laughed first

about french champagne (not sure about this)

and we have danced

and when the room was empty

all the freinds were gone

i have stayed alone with my guide

nathalie

no more modest sentences

no more october's revolution

we werent there anymore

finished lenin's grave

the chocolate at Pouchkine

that, that was far away now

my life seems empty to me

but i know that someday at paris

i will be her guide

nathalie nathalie
