Olga

If I told you that I would accept you just the way you are
With all your strengths and weaknesses
And with your history
Would you turn to me and let me stay myself?
Would we walk together under golden sun?
Exchanging happiness and sorrows
Forgetting differences and distances forever
Would you take me to your lands?
And show the Cradle of Civilization
Would we breathe in the scent of sea?
Taste the sweetness of the olives of Yerushalaim
And rest under the trees of Lebanon?
I rarely sleep at nights
And all my days are joyless
I only feel relieved when you are near
How can I make you fall for me?
And take this pain away?
Should I just leave it all behind?
And run away with you to places,
From where nobody returns?
Or should I stay, forget the day I saw you?
I want to lead you to your happiness
By taking you from Babylon to Cordoba
And if you want to end my sadness and my pain,
Please let me know, since I am free
Enslaved to misery
And you can break these heavy chains by being by my side.

Jeez
