It's not a witch, nor a sorceress who turns up at my house,
Not at the time of the full moon, but in the summer, on a clear day...
"Usually at dawn I come while you sleep,
but this time it is not so", she said to me
"Fatigue, hatred and pain, the dark fear of madness
You hold all of Hell on Earth like the sky on your shoulders
Each of you is mad in love and in war
But life is not a sound to cut short," she said to me
Up there there is no one
It's lonely there too, just like here
Up there, the clouds run
Toward the stars that have been going out for many years
"As long as you're alive, not dying, look at this world
Many here have dead souls, they are dead inside!
But they walk and laugh not knowing that they don't exist
Don't hasten your hour of death," she said to me
Up there there is no one
It's lonely there too, just like here
Up there, the clouds run
Toward the stars that have been going out for many years
"It's possible to escape from life but never from death.
Life itself folds its wings and I will return here"
It's not a witch, nor a sorceress that was in my house
But to have a drink of water on a summer's day, death dropped in by chance
Up there there is no one
It's lonely there too, just like here
Up there, the clouds run
Toward the stars that have been going out for many years
Up there
Up there
Up there the clouds run
Toward the stars that have been going out for many years
