They went...
Three thieves, three horse thieves
on an evening road
Hey...
Royal arabian horses.
They were
three thieves, three heaven thieves
on a wax road
Hey
in an orange time...
They're sitting for a century at the auberge
the auberge from then
where you can't hear
whistle and bagpipe.
Snowed from the sky
with sheep wool
The time is yesterday
and the day is thursday
Big...
is their halt
what's their thing
hey
and what they're waiting for
Yellow
violet and pink
to run
Hey
to Edi-Kule
They're holding a secret counsel
there at the auberge
auberge forgot
even by Genghis-Khan
where a day is
larger than a year
and the year is a century
and the century is larger...
Please
tell me what they're doing
and what are they planning
Hey,
the three emperors?
You see that
they're neither frying lambs
nor emptying glasses
Hey,
the dragon emperors!
But they're having a big book
with silver pages
about the time
not getting worn out
Its pages coming
being without death
Reading themselves
their book of life
The time is of yesterday
and the day of yours
Snowed from the sky
with sheep wool
and with more yearning
they're sung by us
Sitting for a century at the auberge
the auberge from then...
