A thousand stories live among the careless lights of the night
from boozers to partner-swappers, everything gets a bit embellished.
There are those who buy love and those who prefer making it on their own,
then there are doctors and nurses who love each other on the sly.
How many stars fall and how many dreams await!
Patrols stop at the kiosks while the mice play,
and while the ovens heat up the bread, the subways have a rest.
There are those who keep smoking in the parks, or those who watch TV,
and there are those who prefer going to the pub, and those who drink a bit too much.
How many stars fall and how many dreams await!
There are those who collect wastepaper and cigarettes which belonged to those who are fed up with them,
there are those who count sheep and windows, or those who go out with their dogs,
then there are those who talk to themselves, those who tease them and those who watch all this from above.
How many stars fall and how many dreams await!
While you are sleeping, you roll and sigh and a thousand crickets sing,
but you can't hear them and you dream about what I will never know.
