Albatros [English translation]

The albatrosses

are flying towards the sun.

The albatrosses

are flying in the silence.

Their wings are pinned

up to the clear sky,

and they look like

white crosses

floating in the blue.

I watch them

and I cry.

But I will pray,

yes,

I'll pray.

I...

I

will fly

up,

up

to go away

and be free

like this.

The albatrosses

are flying towards the sun.

They are flying...

I will never be able to follow them.

My arms are pinned down

to a miserable life.

I am a man,

just a man,

and nothing more.

I'm living,

and I cry.

But I will pray,

yes,

I'll pray.

I...

I

will fly

up,

up

to go away

and be free

like this.

...up,

up

to go away

and be free

like this.
