Ein leichtes leises Säuseln [English translation]

I'm on the run

From riled-up masses

Across the wilderness

Arrived at the end

Been sitting at the entrance for so long

In silence and without a plan

First there's a storm

But you're not moving past with it

Then there's an earthquake

But you're not involved in it either

I'm gonna pull strongly at the roots from below

Until the world above awakens

Col de ma ma daqua

A soft faint whisper

From a voice of fleeting1 silence

And if there were deluges of water

I know you wouldn't partake in any flood anymore

Even if it was going to rain meteors today

I know you're just no longer a part of it

I'm gonna pull strongly at the twenty-two roots

Until the world above awakens

I'm gonna raise my voice of dissent

Until the answer blows towards me from the whisper

1. "Verschwebt" is an outdated word refering to "schweben" (to float), meaning something like "volatile", "lost in the air" or "otherworldly".
