It’s 5 o’clock… In the morning… I’m stuck…
I’m watching the snow through the window…
Snowflakes are falling like downed stars
Decorating my old town for winter…
Life is so instant with days flying by...
With flowers blooming and snowstorms sweeping…
With first time “good morning” and final “goodbye” …
With kissing and laughing, with cursing and weeping…
With losing... and finding... and keeping...
My dear Matilda, you saved me in storm,
You offered me shelter, mulled wine and sweet smile.
One January night you made me so warm,
And shared with me all your wonderful life.
Dear Matilda, my dear Matilda, dear Matilda,
don’t leave me alone!
Dear Matilda, my dear Matilda, dear Matilda,
don’t leave me alone!
My dear Matilda, when we are alone
We are like fragile snowflakes melting fast…
But sticking together, we can make a storm
The one that will clean us from stains of the past.
And after the blizzard, in virgin white field,
We’ll shovel the snow and make snow angels.
We’ll call one Eugene and the other Matilda –
Our guardian angels forever and ever,
Our guardian angels for ages.
My dear Matilda, you saved me in storm,
You offered me shelter, mulled wine and sweet smile.
One January night you made me so warm,
And shared with me all your wonderful life.
Dear Matilda, my dear Matilda, dear Matilda,
don’t leave me alone!
Dear Matilda, my dear Matilda, dear Matilda,
don’t leave me alone!
