In the stove

In the stove the little fires
they dance and jump non-stop
the big ones and the little ones
they don’t stop dancing

crackling merrily
can not be controlled
because the wind strongly
does not stop blowing

Through the air they walk
laughing happily
In the stove they play
running free

Their light and heat share
merrily danced
while the logs burn
in the stove crackling

Fireworks of a thousand colors
white, green and yellow
flying rainbows
blue, orange and reddish

They are like shooting stars
that the night lights up
music and bars
that swirl

In the stove the little fires
they dance and jump non-stop
the big ones and the little ones
Well, they don’t stop dancing
