Kometa [English translation]

I saw a comet, it flew on the sky

I wanted to sing to her, it disappeared

It disappeared like a doe in a grove next to the forest

There are only few coins in my eyes left

I hid those coins to the clay under the oak

When it will fly next time, we won't be here anymore

We won't be here, oh that vain pride

I saw a comet, I wanted to sing to her

About water, about grass, about a forest

About death, that you can't deal with

About love, about treachery, about the world

And about all the people that lived on this planet

There are trains clinking on the starry station

Mister Kepler wrote down celestial laws

He was looking and he found in astronomical binoculars

The secret that we are carrying on our shoulders

Big and agelong secrets of nature

That only from human a human can be born

That a root and branches make a tree

The blood of our hopes is voyaging in the universe

I saw a comet it was like a relief

From the hands of the artist that doesn't live anymore

I was climbing to the sky, I wanted to touch it

The futility undressed me

Like the statue of David made of white marble

I stood and looked, looked up

The next time it'll fly, oh that vain pride

We won't be here, but the other one will sing to it

About water, about grass, about a forest

About death, that you can't deal with

About love, about treachery, about the world

It will be a song about us and the comet
