       When somebody comes and sits 
       
      In the casement of our memories 
       
      He makes us forget altogether 
       
      The severity of the rainstorms 
       
      And the intensity of windstorms. 
       
       
       
      In the kingdom of the heart 
       
      In the rule of the heart 
       
      Flowers begin to blossom 
       
      We are ready to live in the state of crucifixion 
       
      We become accustomed to drink 
       
      The bitter draughts of grief so happily 
       
      The tyranny of time is scattered 
       
      Like the dust of the old trodden paths 
       
      All the gloominess of the face 
       
      Is washed away by our tears 
       
      All our sullenness of nature 
       
      Is cleaned away all at once 
       
      When somebody comes and sits 
       
      In the casement of our memories. 
       
       
       
      Although many people come and go 
       
      In the doorway of our lives 
       
      And they are telling us their stories 
       
      And make us roam in the streets of their love 
       
      Yet when we are alone, all alone 
       
      And meet with our solitude 
       
      Some new kinds of flowers begin to bloom 
       
      Who listen to our story so patiently 
       
      We tell in detail what happens to us 
       
      In the days and nights of our life 
       
      It only happens when 
       
      Some body comes and sits 
       
      In the casement of our memories 
       
      This is usually the time with us 
       
      When he makes us forget altogether 
       
      The severity of the rainstorms 
       
      And the intensity of windstorms.  |
