Zece [English translation]

Ten odd happenings and a wonder

Have brought you in the house, ten

Ten painters are still amazed

By your beauty.

Ten days are passing foolishly like I don’t know

I don’t know how, I don’t know where, I don’t know

If I stayed with you ten lives

It would still be a bit.

Two parallel stars

Stars, knotted tears and

The light from them

All of them, for you.

Four princes with three castles

Waters, bewitched chains and

The sky over them

All of them, for you.

Ten odd happenings and a wonder

Have brought you in the house, ten

Ten painters are still amazed

By your beauty.

Ten days are passing foolishly like I don’t know

I don’t know how, I don’t know where, I don’t know

If I stayed with you ten lives

It would still be a bit.

Seven fairies, all good

Glow-worms, hopes in the night and

The dwarfs from the fairy-tale

All of them, for you.

Nine wise men in the event of the night

A horseshoe up, away and

The treasures from my soul

All of them, for you.

Ten odd happenings and a wonder

Have brought you in the house, ten

Ten painters are still amazed

By your beauty.

Ten days are passing foolishly like I don’t know

I don’t know how, I don’t know where, I don’t know

If I stayed with you ten lives

It would still be a bit
