Stephen [English translation]

When will we have walked our eyes to heaven

Only to trip on reality one day

Forgetting the earth under our feet

For a cloud that passed

When will we be afraid of storms

Of these burning sarcophagi

Fearing the shadow when evening comes

Living an illusion

Who knows

But who can know

How many summers from Hell

We have left to live before the Exodus

We’ve plundered, emptied the seas

And trafficked the codes

We ignored the alarm

The foretold signs

We lost our soul

The only thing left is to abandon all

What will be left?

A life of stone

After so many lives

Happy on earth

Just as many broken lives

And we must go away

Deadly winds

Burning our hemispheres

It’s high time for us to get fresh air

To emigrate to Jupiter

To leave like the swallows

They all became crazy

This is what they’ll say of us

They’ll write on our stelae

“Your home was beautiful.”

And we rolled

To the bottom of the slope

Nothing to brake

Our descent

We’re going to lose

Like the dragonflies

We must choose

The sky or the earth

What will be left?

A life of stone

After so many lives

Happy on earth

Just as many broken lives

And we must go away

The scale balances

We must seize it

Space extends its cords

Space is pulling us in

To go away

Yes, we must go away
