What Do I Care? lyrics

What do I care, in the dreams and the languor of spring,
       &nbsp That my songs do not show me at all?
For they are a fragrance, and I am a flint and a fire,
       &nbsp I am an answer, they are only a call.

But what do I care, for love will be over so soon,
       &nbsp Let my heart have its say and my mind stand idly by,
For my mind is proud and strong enough to be silent,
       &nbsp It is my heart that makes my songs, not I.
