Odeon

Oh, how I wish
My little tune
So long abandoned
And the melancholy I felt
When I heard
Who made me cry so much
Also reminds me
So much, so much
All the charm
Of a past
That was beautiful
It was sad, it was good
Just like a little tune
Called Odeon

With flute and ukulele
My little tune breaks free
Takes from the guitar's song
That refrain
That gives me life
And kills me
It's all love
My little tune
When it grabs and comes
So slowly
Dim light, soft voice, half-tone
My little tune called Odeon

Ah, come quickly
Dear little tune, come
Show the grace
That heartfelt crying has
How much time has passed
How much has changed
No one cries for anyone anymore

Ah, who would have thought that one day
My little tune, you would come
With the grace that love gave you
To say: It’s okay
It doesn’t matter, it’s all good
I came back to cry with you all

Old little tune, dear little tune
I still chase this illusion
This longing that goes with me
And it even feels like that prayer
That comes straight from the heart
If I could remember
And be a child
If I could renew
My hope
If I could recall
How to dance
This little tune
That nowadays
No one knows anymore

Cry a lot, my little tune
Your tune of longing
Tell the mandolin not to play
So beautifully
Because it almost feels cruel
Oh, my little tune
I just wanted
To turn into reality
The poetry
Oh how beautiful, oh how sad, oh how good
Of a little tune called Odeon
