Poem lyrics:

I sing for boys and girls

I sing for boys and girls

I sing in the morning

I sing hope

I sing those things that belong to the future

I sing those growing powers

My song

Fly into the hearts of those young people

Find the place where you stay

Everything that makes me tremble like grass

Happy or good thoughts

Become sounds

Fly in all directions

Whether it is like a breeze

Or a piece of sunshine

Gently from my piano strings

I lost the sadness of adulthood

I became young again

My blood flows very fast

I am full of dreams and desires for life
