Miserere [English translation]

Have mercy, have mercy

have mercy, dear me,

but I make a toast to life!

What a mistery is my life,

what a mistery,

I am a sinner in the year of 80000,

a liar!

Where am I? What do I do?

How do I live?

I live in the soul of the world

lost in the depths of life!

Have mercy, dear me,

but I make a toast to life!

I am the saint who betrayed you

when you were alone

and I live somewhere else, observing the world

from the heavens

and I see the sea and the forests,

I see myself...

...living in the soul of the world,

lost in the depths of life!

Have mercy, dear me,

but I make a toast to life.

If there's a night dark enough

to hide me, to hide me,

if there's a light, a hope

- magnificent sun shining inside me -

give me the joy of life

that's not here yet.

Have mercy, have mercy!

That joy of life that perhaps

is not here yet.
