The gentleman from a foreign country

-To Talgat with love

It hit me without warning
The charm of a stranger
Opening my e-mail in the morning
The content of his letter
I can hear the beauty of his melody
The gentleman from a foreign country

Although of his unknown face
Feeling his soul from miles away
In my heart he has a special place
Protecting him in a special way
I can see the beauty of his sensitivity
The gentleman from a foreign country

Talking tenderly to my pillow
As strange as it may be
Alone in my bedroom’s rainbow
As if he lies there next to me
I can feel the beauty of his energy
The gentleman from a foreign country
