lyrics

Prologue: Dead Boy

Radiant evening, water rises
in the ditch, a woman with child
walks in the field.

I remember you, Narcissus; you were
the color of the evening when the bells
tolled the knell.


I.) Returning to the Village

...
Midday chimes ring
festive in my village.
Yet what silence the bell
casts over the fields!
You haven’t changed, bell;
in awe I return to your voice.
“Time does not move:
behold the father’s smiles
in the children’s eyes
like rain on the branches.”


translation by Steven Sartarelli
