We built a sandcastle on the beach.
|
Summer was fun in it, and now longing.
|
You and I didn’t have enough strength for brick building,
|
And the sandy wind very soon knocked down.
|
And now we are with you, my friend, wanderers,
|
And the sand flows through your fingers.
|
We are strangers to each other, like aliens,
|
We walk on the sand back and forth, yes, yes, yes, yes.
|
We are now wanderers with you
|
And the sand flows through your fingers, na na na
|
On on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on.
|
You, of course, married, but not for me,
|
You and your husband had a hut with smoke and fire,
|
But when the July downpour came to visit you,
|
Your unreliable hut has found its death.
|
And we again:
|
Well, I built myself a fortress by the water,
|
Where the surf washes away wet footprints in the morning,
|
But a tsunami wave came, a volcano boiled,
|
Everything that has been acquired over the years is washed into the ocean.
|
And we are with you again, my friend, wanderers
|
And the sand flows through your fingers.
|
We are strangers to each other, like aliens,
|
We walk on the sand back and forth, yes, yes, yes, yes.
|
We are now wanderers with you
|
And the sand flows through your fingers, na na na
|
On on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on on. |
