Lyrics

[00:00.00] 作曲 : Richter
[00:16.90] "How enduring, how we need durability.
[00:21.24] The sky before sunrise is soaked with light.
[00:25.16] Rosy colour tints buildings, bridges,
[00:27.55] And the Seine.
[00:29.90] I was here when she with whom I walk wasn't born yet,
[00:34.27] And the cities on a distant plain stood intact,
[00:37.60] Before they rose in the air with the dust of sepulchral brick,
[00:41.00] And the people who lived there didn't know.
[00:45.58] Only this moment, at dawn, is real to me.
[00:49.13] The bygone lives are like my own past life,
[00:52.31] Uncertain. I cast a spell on the city, asking it to last."
