"My America"

Why do you lure me so strongly, land of free life and smiles?

Now, in the sadness of today,

I make so many mistakes...

Can you really reshape me, great free power?

For I am like an unyielding thread,

I am like a snag on a night pajama...

In every dream I dream of you,

I see your image in old film reels...

And there is nothing more beautiful on earth than you, my magnificent goddess!

Accept me when I come to you, accept me, as soon as I kneel...

For in my absurd bustle you alone can link all the chains together.

I will bow to you, land of Dreams, as soon as I step off the "heavenly bird"

into the arms of your gentle capital,

I will bow to you, land of dreams!

Just accept me and do not hurt me by chance, when I come to you from another shore, and keep my dream like a secret...

See you soon, my dear America!..
