Italia '98 [English translation]

Maximilian:

I know, I said I won't do that, but I'm sending you a message:

I hope you've arrived well, even though you've arrived late,

There was maybe a half an hour delay,

I don't know when we'll meet again, you know, that's it,

I hope to be strong for it all.

We left, but we'll say "goodbye" another time.

We reached our destination in two days,

There is no time to admire the view, but Vienna seems great.

There is so much agitation here, it's like a jungle

Full of romanian people who would offer you a job,

Full of romanian people who would scam you.

At the moment we don't have a stable place to sleep,

We found for your mother a place into a monastery,

It will be all right the next days.

I'm waiting a new day in the old hope and sorrow,

But I'm not complaining, I'm writing a new file into my journal.

Refrain:

The thoughts make me unable to fall asleep,

They carry me far away.

Maximilian:

10.12.981, a sad morning,

Your mother is crying, there is no perspectives for me,

We've just arrived but the time is passing too fast.

Claudiu2, you are the bigger brother, listen:

Be ready to confront walls,

The next years will destroy your faith,

Life will teach you that your faith is pointless,

You'll find your story into your wrinkles.

You know, words are meaningless

I ask myself how they could help you.

Others kneel and blame to the sky,

But I'm not complaining, I'm writing a new file into my journal.

Refrain:

The thoughts make me unable to fall asleep,

They carry me far away.

Maximilian:

09.07.993, the sky is still blue,

We are heading towards a disaster,

Your mother gives up, I don't know what's going on,

I simply can't understand anyone,

I should watch after her carefully.

In her moments of lucidity

She blames me for several days now,

She wants only to stay in church and pray.

She asked me to buy her religious books,

But I think they are more and more dangerous.

She thinks everybody abuses her,

She hears voices.

Refrain:

The thoughts make me unable to fall asleep,

They carry me far away.
