Romanian Gymnasts

You are beautiful there alone in the deep

with your figure that moves like a shark in the sea

- so silent, grey and strong.

Child in the light, flying like an angel

did your mother ever tell you about love and tales

or are your life just a watch counting 3 minutes.

When the light is on, their eyes are there

can you feel them standing watching your game?

Or are they in a world away,

so far from yours?

There will never be a woman proud in your eyes

you are a statue of a girl in a dream

some day wil come, and your time is out

you will be taken away

like the Lenin in grey.

Your heart is in a desperation for a life in play

but you are up against a devil whenever you pray.

A soldier for your country,

or a fighter to be free?

In the mirror there is a girl

you should try and see.
