Wooden houses

The wind blows,it is so cold outside,wooden housesonly creak,the dead leavescover the pathsand I'm stillcovered by black clouds.

The wind blows,and nothing can confort mewithout you my lifewill end and you won't even notice,my soul is getting weaker,I wish you could see me,the sight of me is sad,I'm full of sadness.

The wind makes cracksin the wooden houses,and if you don't come backI will be buried soon.

That's the way the wooden house were,in-between the cracksthe wind sung a melody,and then cement came,now there are only block buildings,only iron and bricks.

The wind blows,and nothing can confort mewithout you my lifewill end and you won't even notice,my soul is getting weaker,I wish you could see me,the sight of me is sad,I'm full of sadness.

The wooden houseslook like if they're falling down,they are complaining, just like me,since the day you're gone.

The wind makes cracksin the wooden houses,and if you don't come backI will be buried soon.
