Coz the balcony said so....(ENGLISH)

The balcony was a news flash
A few neighbors ago
There were no secrets you could hide
Coz the balcony said so.

If relatives had stopped by
The neighbors always knew
Looking at the sandals in the balcony
An extra bunch or two.

Coz then you'd see the fancy sheets
And towels on the cloth line;
You'd see the new table clothes
With interesting design.

The balcony announced a baby's birth
To folks who lived outside
As brand new infant clothes were hung
So carefully with pride.

The ages of the children could
So readily be known
By watching how the sizes changed
You'd know how much they'd grown.

It also spoke of grief struck,
As flowers in balcony died in spring;
Then silence, and emptiness, too,
Lived in closed doors within

It said, "Gone on summer vacations"
With the empty balcony stare
It told, "We're back!" when the door was thrown open
With smelll of food in the puff of air

But balcony signs now are of the past
Coz doors are always closed
Now what goes on inside the door
To neighbors not disclosed.

I really miss the balcony tales
It was the best you know
When neighbors knew their neighbors
Coz the balcony said so
