| Tead, et igal kultuuril on tõusu ja languse faas.
| You know that every culture has a phase of ups and downs.
|
| Mis kõrgele hüppab, peagi on sirakil maas.
| What jumps high will soon be on the ground.
|
| Meil on on see õnn, et saame me veel näha oma eluajal,
| We have the happiness that we can still see in our lifetime,
|
| kuidas põrmu langeb Õhtumaa.
| how the dust falls in the West.
|
| Käes on Õhtumaa viimased tunnid,
| Here are the last hours of the West,
|
| veel agoonias rabeleb ta.
| still in agony he struggles.
|
| Tema loojuva päikese kiirtes
| In the rays of his setting sun
|
| klaasi tõstan ja ütlen: aidaa.
| I raise my glass and say: help.
|
| See on postmodernistliku näidendi viimane vaatus.
| This is the last scene of a postmodern play.
|
| See on posthumanistliku luige katkenud laul.
| It's a broken song from a posthumanist swan.
|
| See tarbijate paradiis on tarbind ennast lõhki.
| This consumer paradise is consuming itself.
|
| Ta tükid kukuvad eilsesse.
| His pieces fall into yesterday.
|
| Õhtumaa viimased tunnid
| The last hours of the West
|
| kõnnivad riburada me taga.
| walk the stripe track behind us.
|
| Ja me jookseme nende eest ära.
| And we run away from them.
|
| Ei tee me tegemist hävinevaga.
| We are not dealing with destruction.
|
| Õhtumaa viimased tunnid.
| The last hours of the West.
|
| Kaunis ja kohutav loojang.
| Beautiful and terrible sunset.
|
| Õhtumaal õhtu on käes
| Evening is evening
|
| ja õhtu ei tõota ju sooja.
| and the evening does not promise warmth.
|
| See, mida Euroopa tähendas kunagi meile,
| What Europe once meant to us
|
| sel polegi tähtsust. | it doesn't matter. |
| See oli ju kunagi eile.
| That was once yesterday.
|
| Me homsesse nüüd vaatame ja me ei tea, mis tuleb sealt,
| We're looking at tomorrow now and we don't know what's coming from there,
|
| kuid midagi sealt tulema ju peab.
| but something has to come from there.
|
| Käes on Õhtumaa viimased tunnid,
| Here are the last hours of the West,
|
| veel agoonias rabeleb ta.
| still in agony he struggles.
|
| Tema loojuva päikese kiirtes
| In the rays of his setting sun
|
| klaasi tõstan ja ütlen: aidaa.
| I raise my glass and say: help.
|
| Õhtumaa viimased tunnid.
| The last hours of the West.
|
| Mõned ees on veel, mõned on taga.
| Some are still in front, some are in the back.
|
| Meie astume kõrvale sealt
| We're stepping aside from there
|
| ja ei tea, kas me astume tagasi veel. | and I don't know if we'll step back yet. |
