I saw cold nights, and the moon was eclipsed
It had dropped its wings into the sea
The loneliness of a seagull caught my eye
Come, carry the image of pain for a lifetime
The oceans in my heart, stabbed with blue
From now on, they will freeze
Every step I take turns into a wound
The loneliness I left behind
Dead birds in my chest, I cannot look at the sky
If it snows from now on, I will be the first to freeze and die
My childhood voice trembles, it is time to cry
I cannot respond to life, my sorrow evaporates
I learned the language of sailors, their songs were made of mother-of-pearl
Their ferocity was the frost that surrounded their fears
I touched their eyelashes; their dreams were a bottomless well
I watered my heart
Perhaps it’s ash not scattered from feathers
Perhaps it’s a place of fire from wings
Whatever it is; I saw it very cold
Forgive me, my hope
Today I will abandon you, my hope.
