BardicTranslationRoughs/WeWaitForChange

Instead of warmth - bottle-green glass
Instead of fire - smoke
A day plucked out of a calendar's mesh
As the red sun slowly burns out
The day burns out with it
And shadow falls over the sun-blazed city

Change! - our hearts demand it.
Change! - our eyes demand it.
In our laughter and our tears
And the pulsing of our veins:
"Change!

 We are waiting for change!"

Electrical lights to lengthen our day
The matchbox may be empty
But a blue flower of gas flame burns on the kitchen stove
Cigarettes in our hands, tea on the table - a simple picture
And that's it - everything else is in us

Change! - our hearts demand it.
Change! - our eyes demand it.
In our laughter and our tears
And the pulsing of our veins:
"Change!

 We are waiting for change!"

We can't boast of great wisdom in our gaze
Or of skillful finesse with our hands,
We don't need them to understand each other
Cigarettes in our hands, tea on the table - thus the circle is closed
And suddenly we are afraid to change anything

Change! - our hearts demand it.
Change! - our eyes demand it.
In our laughter and our tears
And the pulsing of our veins:
"Change!

 We are waiting for change!"
