Umbra [English translation]

This shadow which

You plant in my soul

With pity and sad wonder

I will always take it with me

I will always take it with me.

And then on a certain day

On which it will be hardest for me

I will place it on old calendars

The Sunday of my body

The Sunday of my body.

Shivers go through me

And I have no need

I beg you, shadow

To become a being again.

Shivers go through me

And I have no need

I beg you, shadow

To become a being again.

Starving for complete love

In times of gloomy twilight

At night when the signs of the zodiac unravel

I have enough of a shadow and so much

I have enough of a shadow and somuch...

And my soul begs you again

Fallen magnetic mast

You, silent and dear shadow,

Set the scarf at your neck.

Set the scarf at your neck.

Shivers go through me

And I have no need

I beg you, shadow

To become a being again.

Shivers go through me

And I have no need

I beg you, shadow

To become a being again.

A shadow locks itself inside me

A shadow passed through me

It is so bad that it is good

It is so much that it is not

It is so much that it is not.

Bacovia goes out of himself

And laughs in "a" and in "u"

A shadow in life holds me

And that shadow is you

And that shadow is you.

Shivers go through me

And I have no need

I beg you, shadow

To become a being again.

Shivers go through me

And I have no need

I beg you, shadow

To become a being again.
