English:
On the balcony of my memory
I see a woman;
her eyes are blue
like the sea ...
like the eternal sky.
Oh! I think that I love you,
but I am not sure!
My heart is too gray.

French:
Sur le balcon de ma mémoire
je vois un femme Elle;
des yeux sont bleue
comme la mer…
comme le ciel éternel.
Ah ! Je pense cela je t'aime,
mais je ne suis pas sűr!
Mon coeur est trop gris.
Afrikaans:
Op die balkon van my geheue
sien ek 'n vrou;
Haar oë is blou
soos die see ...
soos die ewige hemel.
O! Ek dink ek het jou lief,
maar ek is nie seker nie.
My hart is te grys.

Very touching and sad...for when our hearts are grey it is hard to see the true color of love...simple and brilliant.
