Anja [English translation]

Anja, you, whose eyes shine anyway

The little firefly when everything goes out

Anja, this song that you love

When you look at me, it comes back

It says that life is not cruel

That all men, we are the same

That if we give them happiness

They will not become better

Anja, forgive them.

Anja, the children, the only lights

Some will darken your path.

Anja, my favorite color

It is the pink in the palm of your hand

Take my arm, it serves the even stronger

Love can repel death

This invisible dictator

I see the tears dripping on your heart

In a river of modesty

Anja, our stories made of lace

Only hold to the sons of our destinies

Anja, keep your damsel gloves

To wipe our sins of sorrow

You say that the grief will be lived through

That the pain is only a shower

That there is sun for tomorrow

You who calls me with a childish smile

Hidden in its case

Anja, we take fantom trains

There are sometimes sad travels

Anja, you upset my atoms

You, the free electron without baggage

Little porcelain doll

When madness breaks loose

In a mosaic of pain

Little queen with a flower crown

Anja, forgive them

Anja, can we love each other like brothers?

Our parents are so different

Anja, you are millions on Earth

The name is not very important

Whether you wear a cross or a star

A tiny red dot or a veil

The reality is the same

And since we harvest what we sow

I offer you this poem

Anja, a bird with white wings

Came to rest near you

Anja, there she sawed the branch

And happiness has fallen well below

Let's hope that our hopes are raised

That in our hearts, the sap flows

And the spray of better days

But if the barbarism is only a mistake

Anja forgive them

Anja, it is raining on your innocence

And drip by drip, we say goodbye

Anja, you keep a part of your childhood

Like if life was only a big game

I would love to have your strength

To have this spring under the bark

Of a tree that I know too old

Walk further, I am stopping here.

Anja, forgive me

Anja, you, whose eyes shine anyway

Little firefly when everything goes out

Anja, this song that you love

When you look at me, it comes back

It says that life is not cruel

That all men, we are the same

That if we give them happiness

They will not become better

Anja, forgive them.
