Black eyes gaze at me in the black of night On the other side of the square stands a small cat in sight With a nod, I beckon the cat to come near But it turns and runs into the tall grass, disappearing from here [choir] Black cat, please come closer, don’t be afraid While others sleep soundly in their homes, We, the masters of silence and shade, Let's meet, and together roam the unknown. My lonely night walk carries on Birds sing softly, the wind's whisper is drawn But one day, I’d love to stroll with the cat Will it dare to approach or leave me at that? [choir] Black cat, please come closer, don’t be afraid While others sleep soundly in their homes, We, the masters of silence and shade, Let's meet, and together roam the unknown. Another night, I couldn’t find it anywhere Though the moon lit up nearly the whole square Where’s the little black shadow that once did stare At me during my nightly wanderings in the air? [choir] Black cat, please come closer, don’t be afraid While others sleep soundly in their homes, We, the masters of silence and shade, Let's meet, and together roam the unknown. When I’d finally accepted my fate alone I felt a cat’s bite upon my rat's throat My friend had come to take me home— On one last walk, before the day broke.
