Жук* – an anthem for the child

*Russian for beetle, pronounce like 'jouque'

I wish I were music, a song that
Everyone sang, whistled, hummed, and that everyone
Had in mind when they fell in love
I wish that everyone heard me sometime, unexpectedly
And listened until I was done
Closed their eyes, sighed heavily and then went on
But I was never completely done
Never forever.
(free translation, Toon Tellegen)
