“Her Morning Elegance” BY Oren Lavie


Sun been down for days

A pretty flower in a vase

A slipper by the fireplace

A cello lying in its case
大提琴靜躺在箱子裡。

Soon she's down the stairs

Her morning elegance she wears

The sound of water makes her dream
水之聲拉她入夢中,
Awoken by a cloud of steam
蒸氣聲卻把她驚醒,
She pours a daydream in a cup
將她的白日夢倒入杯中,
A spoon of sugar sweetens up

As she puts on her coat

A winter melody she plays

The thunder makes her contemplate

She hears a noise behind the gate

Perhaps a letter with a dove
也許是鴿子來信,
Perhaps a stranger she could love
