While I slept it snowed everywhere

While I slept, snow fell everywhere -
It was falling from the sky, white and bluish,
and even a menacing man came out
with a huge homemade shovel

and woke me up. But the snow
didn't wake me up, it was falling very quietly.
I woke up in the middle of the day,
and behind the wall a child was crying softly.

A long time ago I went out in the snowfall
without hat or coat, I ran to the bus stop
I ran to the bus stop and was glad to death
for my sweet friend in her hare coat.

we were walking to my place, and there was snow everywhere,

and the yard was empty, just the two of us
We were with her, and I kissed her
her then, excited children,

We looked around, I secretly, she
openly.

Where are my sorrows now,

my anxieties?

Standing at the window,
I hear the cries and see the snow. Hardly

Would run now, not so hot.

(The snow is as blue as laundry sheets.)
Scrape with your shovel, man, weep,
my boy or girl, my boy.
