|
I extinguished the ultimate fire |
|
To give respite to my eyes |
|
I'm imprisoned in the bowels of an ox |
|
And here indeed I can no longer lift my arms |
|
I listened to the myths of heroes and bawdy poets |
|
I dug within tombs of love and of the saints |
|
But the furious cry of the earth |
|
Beats my ears again |
|
And still I'm forced to hear |
|
Now I'm here with you, my friends, my friends forever |
|
You are more than a brother, you're drunk from my glass |
|
You hold my arm while I speak |
|
You look at me in silence |
|
But it's from you that I ask help |
|
My hands, that are so tired |
|
All my weariness lain over my shoulders |
|
All that's left to me is your help |
|
The air feels the dawn, trembling as it waits |
|
My throat trembles, long waiting dawn |
|
Outside the day is born |
|
And we, at length die. |
