If I had not met you
at Babel
I would have asked
your name
How you're feeling
or what you've done
The day before
I would have asked
What you think
is beautiful
I would have asked
Why you thik it so
I would have asked you
Some thousand little questions
I would have asked
Who you are...

If I had not met you
at Babel
I would have told you
How fine the weather is
I would have told you
About the news I read
the day before
and how I felt about them
I would have told you
What I thought was beautiful
And why I think them so
I would have told you
Some thousand little things
I would have told
Who I am.

If we had not met
at Babel.
