Those who live in pairs are marked by destiny,

happiness and love are their majesty.

From time immemorial up to the present time

It was a big grief and sorrow

for a woman to become a widow.

Without beloved one life is wrapped

and waits for unexpected meeting.

Even if your destiny is tart

it’s much better than lonely weeping.

Gold and diamonds will not please

if your heart is not caressed.

Your life will not be at ease

without your dearest.

Only those who were caressed and loved

were Madonnas and Eves.

And for the right to be beloved

the queens used to leave their thrones

living sometimes in the hovels.

That’s what we know from history and novels.

But they were happy and thanked our Lord

for giving them love as an award.
