|
farewell, oh farewell |
|
Sweet dancers in the wind |
|
I see you are prepared to come with me |
|
The long way home again |
|
|
|
Farewell, my beloved |
|
(Farewell to you) |
|
I whisper to a fading flower |
|
(I greet your embrace) |
|
There's so much life in dying |
|
After all this time you can go to sleep |
|
(After all this time that passed |
|
I can go to sleep) |
|
|
|
This well-known melody |
|
Rises up above the orphaned trees |
|
Rejoining the restless wind |
|
Bequeath scarlet rain to hunted leaves |
|
|
|
Through this decay, you can see her |
|
How she wanders |
|
How she cries silent tears |
|
Midnight's coming all too soon |
|
And she has to end what she's begun |
|
|
|
Come near come near to me |
|
I know you are frightened |
|
And I can't keep you safe |
|
But see there's nothing holding you anymore |
|
So please, don't insist on the waste |
|
|
|
And now I see your eyes |
|
(I'm waiting for you) |
|
Your broken beauty is my guide |
|
(I welcome your kiss) |
|
There's so much life in dying |
|
Take my hand, |
|
Rest your head and seek relief |
|
(I've saved my life for you, |
|
Oh come near, let me seek relief) |
|
|
|
Hope in her hair |
|
And her fingers borrow pity out of your heart |
|
Her eyes are staring right through you |
|
And you can see yourself in them |
|
|
|
Sweet dancers |
|
There is nothing holding you anymore |
|
Please come with me, my dear |
|
|
|
Now autumn's tears begin to freeze |
|
And I'm willing to leave again |
