I picked this sprig of heather
Autumn is dead - remember
We will never see each other again on this earth
Odor of time, sprig of heather
And remember that I am waiting for you
I picked this sprig of heather
Autumn is dead - remember
We will never see each other again on this earth
Odor of time, sprig of heather
And remember that I am waiting for you
I have had the courage to look behind me
At the corpses of my days
I have had the courage to look behind me
At the corpses of my days
How slowly time passes
As a funeral passes
You will regret this hour of tears
It will leave only too soon
Like all other hours...
How slowly time passes
As a funeral passes
You will regret this hour of tears
It will leave only too soon
Like all other hours
And you, my heart, why are you beating?
Like a melancholic watchman
I watch the night and death
Bring on the night, ring out the hour
The days wear on but I endure
anyone who can translate?
