untitled



The rain when it falls doesn’t vex me,
Let me stumble and fall into graves;
The mists make me blind, it can’t trouble my mind
For I’m just walking on, walking on.

Untitled ~ (translation)

In each breast there is only one heart beat

And there´s only one road you can go

And if you´re afraid to walk down it

You will never arrive at your goal.


Love´s map is erratic and lawless

Its ways rose-coloured and wild -

If you wish for a future that´s certain

Be not by love´s vision beguiled.


If you don´t know the weight of earth´s burden

When the bell tolls its knell in the gloom,

Then your life is a tissue of fancy

And as dry as the dust of the tomb
