For Jenny
You said: “I can only adore a man,
Who has accomplished something.
Show what you’ve done, very possibly then
I’ll open my heart for loving.
To be on the dreamy-romantic side
For women is characteristic.
And you’re like a woman and I am like
A man who is realistic”.
I say in reply that you’ll never know,
When you have fallen in love.
It doesn’t depend on what you were shown
And comes to your heart from above.
You said: “I only rely on a man
Who wants to commit to himself.
But where’s such a strong, ambitious man?
So tell me that finally, say it!”
Only if loving is genuine, true,
It always makes magical things.
It’s easy to know: if a man loves you,
He wants your dreams to come true.
You said: “If only I tell modern men
I’d like to marry, have children,
I’ll never hear from them once again.
There’re scared from future commitment”.
O, Jenny, you know, you’re right and wrong.
Not every man is like you say.
I long for commitment and probably strong...
And love for me isn’t a game.
I’m sure, feel deeply, that love always makes
Miracles of everything,
It changes your soul, and your eyes, and your face,
And so you accomplish great things!
You say you can only adore a man,
Who has accomplished something.
Know, if you love, you should never demand,
But give… That is the loving!
