Here you are again,                       my old           cold friend !                  I was missing            you          already and       wondering                when you’d be back                   again?

*

 Because you,                 my cold old friend,

are the only one              giving                             me        shivers and                 blue lips,

       even when I                    try to be                 stronger                                 than                                  you,                            and embrace you                                 like                                                  I                                    wouldn’t                             care.

*

Truth is,                              I do respect you,                           more than any   other of your friends.

       I                  even                           enjoy                        the calmness                                        imposed by you                                               my old cold friend.

*

You made me cry                several times…         Remember that year                     I couldn’t feel

my hands                                and feet because                                     of you so hard,

                             and                     me                                 unprepared                        my old cold friend ?

*

Still,                                              here you are again                  (unannounced)…

but                  it’s my duty                 and a pleasure,                           to welcome you                    once again.

Let it be jolly                               and joyous,                              my                                  cold old                  friend.
