Solen [English translation]

He lifts his gaze toward the Sun,

his face looks like a wound.

The sun fertilizes itself.

He walks on the fiery earth,

he has walked there for 2000 years.

The Sun fertilizes itself.

Burning wind,

Burning wind during the day.

He lifts his pick toward the Sun,

he stretches his elderly body.

The Sun fertilizes itself.

He mangles the rock hard earth,

because the earth is, in spite of everything, his hope.

But The Sun fertilizes itself.

Burning winds,

burning winds during the day.

He hears how they shoot in the distance,

he wonders when the war will end.

The Sun fertilizes itself.

He walks there and thinks about the sea,

he wonders how the sea looks.

And The Sun fertilizes itself.

Burning winds,

Burning winds during the day.
