English translation:
mmmm mmmm ...
Out of the dawn the houses of the city sail
Like silent vessels towards the day"
We glide outwards towards an ocean of light
Through the archipelago.
We travel away from the dark times
Which was governed by hopelessness
Where discourage gives way, joy steps in
Everything becomes illuminated.
[interlude] |
A road is built
where only walls were standing
A gleam of light becomes a skyA tiny
brook becomes a huge river
Filled by the chaos of the whirls.
[interlude]
When vitality fills our open glance
As fresh brew fills the mug
Then our longings go where the night went
Out to the meeting of the light
mmmm mmmm ...... |
