It is empty on the Grand Square
The guide tells about the past
His words blow over
Birds above the roofs, white clouds
it takes a long time
until we go for a drink
In the café we cross over
in each other's language
to the streets where we live
and everything is the same
in a different way
We sing along to the songs
of our teenage years and toast
the world that is becoming ours
I stall for time, don't want to let go
of the guide, I'd like take him with me
and show him around my own city
let him see with my eyes
after seeing what he saw
not knowing what he was thinking
