| I met him: he had a face
|
| like an invented man, one eye closed
|
| and another barred, a lonely smile
|
| foggy, and he didn't know
|
| of being born a choir: what was his name?
|
| The dreamer Olsen
|
| chorus: what did you dream of?
|
| he dreamed of lost things
|
| chorus: and how was it explained?
|
| talking through the cough
|
| chorus: and how did he help himself?
|
| with red flags ...
|
| … He always dreamed of a man in a jockey's cap
|
| without mouth, without teeth
|
| who went to the sea with his mother
|
| to see her ships, and he got her pregnant
|
| of an artist without too much vocation
|
| who looked like Olsen,
|
| it was Olsen, he was a double of him
|
| "But who are you, what do you want?"
|
| shouted Olsen in his delusions,
|
| "Who are you? |
| how do you do,
|
| that I'm awake and you never disappear?
|
| Oh mother, mother you have conceived twice
|
| one child, almost like
|
| take out a cylinder
|
| from a rabbit, from a rabbit! "
|
| chorus: what a sad story!
|
| I swear to you, it's all true
|
| chorus: he wasn't the artist!
|
| but he believed it!
|
| chorus: and how did it turn out?
|
| that he no longer dreamed of that
|
| chorus: has he stopped sleeping?
|
| no, he has a more beautiful nightmare ...
|
| … Now he lives up front
|
| to a purchasing center, and buys everything
|
| leaving the rest down,
|
| now he has a completely different dream,
|
| and he always does and is more and more lost ...
|
| … Now he dreams of a woman
|
| that wakes him up all the time
|
| to tell him "get out of my dream,
|
| because this dream is mine, damn it!
|
| I dream of you, I dream of you for a lifetime and therefore
|
| wake up, move, give me my story back! "
|
| "Who are you? |
| What do you want?
|
| I'm not in your dreams!
|
| It is me, only me who am dreaming,
|
| this dream is mine: that woman
|
| she married the same man twice!
|
| That woman confuses me with the other that I am not!
|
| I want to go out! |
| I want to go out!
|
| There will also be a way out!
|
| There is love, there is love ...
|
| Let me feel what love is!
|
| Make this game stop
|
| of mirrors and chases!
|
| Let me go back to being one,
|
| only one Olsen, the dreamer Olsen! " |
