In the neighbouring homeA girl sings a song of forgetfulness,
The tired tune
Floats in the air like a fallen leaf,
And fires flare up once in a while
In the forest of the dark sky. The rains before the storm, afterwards the flood.
When the waters will sweep away homes,
There will float mute animals and garrulous people,
And in the city's streets
Will rise the plaintive cry of the famine's volunteers,
In your mind will arise the joy of coming together
As you turn towards to your married lover.
You, pale girl, what joy do you get from love,
What delight is there in bearing children?
