A language can open a small door.

Esperanto / English / Mandarin / French · klezmer male-voice direction

Faded stamps, a station, a suitcase and the sea surround a letter still warm. Four languages take turns answering; the bridge admits language cannot save the world alone, but can open a small door. The century-long passage is a lyric story, not a claimed archival discovery.

The klezmer direction meets an ornamented, catching male voice with bent clarinet phrases, fiddle, cimbalom, button accordion and frame drum. A rubato doina leads into freylekh dance. The words cross four languages; instrumental tradition does not determine lyric language.

Read the lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1 - Esperanto] Mi trovis leterojn el jarcento pasinta, kun poŝtmarkoj paliĝintaj sub pluvo kaj temp'. Iu skribis: kara amiko nekonata, ni renkontiĝos iam en pli paca vent'. [Verse 2 - English] The ink survived a winter station, two wars, a suitcase, and the sea. A stranger wrote with careful kindness: Your distant hope belongs to me. [Verse 3 - 中文] 一封信穿过百年风尘, 纸边还留着旧时代的温。 未曾谋面的两个人, 用同一种理想彼此相认。 [Chorus - Français] Lettre après lettre, main dans la main, la paix apprend un vieux chemin. Si tu m'entends de l'autre rive, garde mon nom dans ton matin. [Interlude] [Bridge - Esperanto] Lingvo ne savas mondon sola, sed ĝi malfermas malgrandan pordon. Kiam du koroj ne plu fremdas, historio perdas iom da frosto. [Final Chorus - Français + 中文] Lettre après lettre, main dans la main, 把陌生写成亲近。 Si tu m'entends de l'autre rive, 愿百年以后还有回音。 [Outro - English] Dear unknown friend, the letter is still warm.
