Translation
Ferryman
I'm waiting here in a tunnel where the cold light shimmers
Where the dogs of darkness, howling, face that choir of brightness
Everything happened so sharpish since I always thought I'd leave little by little
I'd regret, just that I don't know how and not even wherefore
Would I complain half aloud: lead home the way of the one still on path
Where, which way shall I be?
Would I call for you if you're here, after all?
Take me to where he is
May the stream be broken in front of the oar
Take me to where he is
Ferryman, hear my wish
This light hurts my eyes in this tunnel where the choir is still singing
I learnt it early, how fragile happiness is, after all, how it doesn't last long
I want to know why you, a long time ago, didn't return though you had to
Soon I got disoriented, the easy way led to a bend, inclinedly
Take me to where he is
May the stream be broken in front of the oar
Take me to where he is
Ferryman, hear my wish
Take me to where he is
To a dusky stream
Take me to him, one day
Under the earth and the waters the girl rows
And sings in dead languages
Under the earth and the waters the girl rows
It's a sluggish and calm stream
