A room in the dusk (1972-1992)

1972

Dusk descends upon our town

but here, in the room, the time has stopped.

Father and mother wait on

to be shone upon by the sun.

A cry.

Weird it is, weird indeed,

Look around you, my crazy kid

and you'll see... tears and cry.

Open your eyes,

I know, a heavy mountain is each eyelid.

Come on, dive

bravely into the new world, my only kid.

1992

Room in the dusk

in a corner, a coffin

and again a cry

for their only son

no longer is among the livin’.

Room in the dusk

in a corner, mother and father crying

lost in this world so cruel.

For them, the sun no longer is shining.
