It is time for dawn, I want to sleep
In my hand I hide the butterfly that came to see me
There's gold on her wings, and she shivers
I lift her on my palm, I don't want to hurt her
[...]
It's dusk and I close my eyes
But before I go to sleep I want to open my hand
And release the most beautiful of butterflies
It's good to go to bed when you've seen the sun

Okay. What I really wanted to do was to translate some of the lyrics that have been tugging at my heartstrings, and I've discovered that it'll take a whole lot more effort than I'm capable of giving it right now. As it is, for the benefit of rather few people, here's what makes me crank up the volume and shout my throat hoarse as I drive through the night.
