Elegi [English translation]

You see the other half of the sun when it sets in west

I sit alone here and wonder where we'll end up next

With you on the other side of the earth I get time for nothing

While the night sheds blue cold shadows hereabout

We could manage anything, we would never say no

and what you share with me, I'll share with you

There's a storm coming tonight, ransack and confess

God's son shall come descended from heaven again

You shall stand naken in front of the truth and all of the qualms of the earth

He shall test your strength, he shall test your morals

We stand silent in front of reason, where summer ends

like teenage children on their way home after yesterday's debut

Now nothing would become what it used to, we were in another division

We could hear fall's dark water huming beneath the bridge

And just now I got to hear your laugh

and it told me, you miss me tonight, I do too

It's so quiet from down the street like never before

it is as if the night here has seen everything and silently sings along

An elegy for all the sorrows that fall was about

For a mother who becomes sick, for a child that never came

For the shadow above the farm where the sun never shone

For a silence between the walls that cut through cement

Two pairs of eyes in emptiness from September to advent

For a man who went to work like nothing had happened

For a woman who said everything is destroyed, everything is burnt

An elegy for all the roads we've yet to wander

for a time that just keeps going and never returns
