Once, I didn't know
That there are words we don't hear
But one evening, a shadow came
Who told me, listen a little more
A voice speaks to you in unknown words
Do you hear the voice of silence whispering?

I went for a walk
The poplars bent over
To tell me stories
That only they knew
And the wind and the sea softly spoke to me
I heard, the voice of silence singing

And since then, I've seen many people
Who threw words to the wind
And who argued without speaking
Who heard without listening
They composed songs
That a thousand voices took up
And their cries, covered the voice of silence

Men no longer see the flowers
They have wrinkles in their hearts
They hope by making noise
To fill the emptiness of their lives
And my words fall without a sound
In drops of stifled dew
Like the voice of silence

You, you sleep by my side
And I dare not speak to you
For fear that my words will blend
With the noise of the world
But I love you so much that one day you will understand
You will hear me, shouting the words of silence
