Till April
Waiting Through Winter: A Song of Longing by Wouter Hamel
Lyrics
I'll wait for you 'til april
I'll patiently wait for you until the month of April
While you are far away
During the time you are distant or far away
I'll wait for you all winter
I'll continue waiting for you throughout the entire winter
If you write me every day
If you communicate with me through writing every day
These streets are full of revelers
The streets are filled with people celebrating, but I'll keep them away or stay isolated
I'll keep them all at bay
I'll prevent the influence of the revelers from affecting me
I'll wait for you 'til april
Reiteration: I will wait for you until April
If you write me every day
If you maintain the practice of writing to me daily
My mind could not be clearer
My thoughts are clear and focused
My windows shuttered down
I have closed myself off emotionally or metaphorically
I'll sing this song all winter
I will sing this song throughout the winter season
'Til you come, 'til you come back to this town
Expressing anticipation for your return to this town
Hey, I just want you to know I'm not doing too bad
Informing the absent person that the speaker is coping reasonably well
I've been writing a lot
The speaker has been engaged in a significant amount of writing
I know you're busy shooting out there
Acknowledging the other person's busy schedule, likely related to photography ("shooting out there")
But give me a call whenever you can
Requesting a call when possible, expressing a desire for communication
I hope you're still okay over there
Expressing concern for the other person's well-being
I miss you a lot
Conveying strong feelings of missing the other person
