The crooked church breathes incense,
|
There is no cross visible under the shirt.
|
Funeral service for servant Nicholas
|
There was a verst left to the churchyard.
|
Two wreaths were placed on the lid,
|
Stools, creaking, hold the weight.
|
The deacon sadly composes a rhyme,
|
Outside the window, a rare forest is crying.
|
Chorus:
|
Life and death play hide-and-seek, the way back is always closed.
|
Quietly the blue will cry, the sky will forgive everyone for everything.
|
Words will fall on the heart, the bell ringing has died down.
|
And the soul will fly away somewhere into eternity, fly away, fly away.
|
You can hear the noise and the blow of the hammer,
|
Gives a clod of earth to the temple -
|
Memory strikes for up to forty,
|
The low voice is high today.
|
The crane flies a wedge in the distance,
|
Somewhere a woodpecker knocks softly -
|
Soon bullfinches will fly to us,
|
Snow on sinful earth will glisten.
|
Chorus:
|
Life and death play hide-and-seek, the way back is always closed.
|
Quietly the blue will cry, the sky will forgive everyone for everything.
|
Words will fall on the heart, the bell ringing has died down.
|
And the soul will fly away somewhere into eternity, fly away, fly away.
|
Let's meet again in a year.
|
The woodpecker will fly to the churchyard again.
|
He will knock us out for all forty-five,
|
Calculates, laughing, in full growth.
|
The crooked church breathes incense,
|
There is no cross visible under the shirt.
|
Funeral service for servant Nicholas
|
There was a verst left to the churchyard. |
