Days pass, nights pass,

Summer passes, rustling

The leaves turn yellow, the eyes go out,

My thoughts are asleep, my heart is asleep,

And everything is asleep, and I don't know,

Whether I'm living or dying,

Or am I just dragging myself through the world,

I don't cry or laugh anymore.

Fate, where are you? Fate, where are you?

There is none,

If you don't want the good, God

Then give me the evil, the evil!

Keep the walking man awake,

And let the heart stop beating

And be a rotten log

To lie in the world like a rotten log.

Let him live, let him live with his heart

And love people,

And if not... then curse

And set the world on fire!

It's scary to be in chains,

To die in captivity,

And even worse is to sleep, to sleep

And sleep in freedom,

And sleep forever and ever,

And they won't leave a trace

No trace at all,

Whether alive or dead!

Fate, where are you, fate, where are you?

There is none!

If you pity the good, God,

Then give me evil! Evil!
