You can sing any song you like -

You can talk to anyone you meet -

You can dress anyway you wish -

What about those who cannot?

No need to know what I am doing or waiting for

But if anyone should ask
Tell them I've been licking coconut skins.

Сгъстена Тишина.

Думите ми

не те нараняват,

шепотът ти не ме плаши,

твоята ръка от моята

не се измъква леко,

сухата целувка

не плъзва по стъкло…

Тогава ти признавам онова,

което никога не бих изрекла.
