Dear
花たん Lyrics

Every summer in the gardens of Florence
The setting of the story takes place in the gardens of Florence during summer.

A peasant of female persuasion
The singer is a female peasant.

Used to cry for Michelangelo
The singer longs for the help of Michelangelo.

To save her from death's invitation
She wants Michelangelo's help to avoid death.

Some say this woman was crazy
There are rumors that people think the artist is mentally ill.

Others say this woman was possessed
Others speculate that she is possessed by an evil spirit.

Just one look at her face and
From her face, one can see how obsessed the singer is with Michelangelo.

It's evident to her he was the best
The artist believes that Michelangelo is the best.

Dear Michelangelo
The artist is calling out to Michelangelo.

Color the dreams in my head
She wants Michelangelo to fill her dreams with color.

I look at your paintings
The singer often looks at Michelangelo's paintings.

And I'm with you in my bed
Looking at Michelangelo's paintings gets her in the mood to be with him in bed.

Save me from death's invitation
The singer wants Michelangelo to save her from death.

I'll make love to no one
The singer refuses to make love to anyone.

Unless he's of your persuasion
Except if that person is like Michelangelo.

By summer's end came many offers
As summer ends, many men asked for the artist's hand in marriage.

All of which the peasant refused
She refused all the offers.

She wanted Michelangelo
The singer only wanted Michelangelo.

No one would speak of passion
No one talked to her about passion.

And touch her, touch her the way that he does
No one could touch her the way Michelangelo does.

No one except Michelangelo
Only Michelangelo could touch her the way she wanted.

It was him or life without love
The artist would rather be with Michelangelo or have no love at all.

A life without love
The idea of no love is unthinkable to her.

Don't die
She doesn't want to die.

Don't die without love
She doesn't want to die without ever experiencing love.

Dear Michelangelo, angel
The singer calls Michelangelo her angel.
