Boréale aurore [English translation]

We stopped just a moment after beauty

was drowned into the masses.

We came here just after humanity

got clothes but got bored of them.

Our nights busy themselves,

we no longer know where they lead us.

Maybe northwards,

(to) the light of an aurora borealis.

Tell me, should we get off the ark

while the world is riding

a high speed lane

ceaselessly?

Tell me, what kind of track will we leave?

Just a mark on the ice,

while the cold hurts us

ceaselessly.

We dressed in the cloth of modernity.

Were we lucky?

Burned up forests ending up as bits of paper

to write about wandering.

Our days get torn between truth and desire,

blinded amidst

flakes of hope in my eyes.

Tell me, should we get off the ark

while the world is riding

a high speed lane

ceaselessly?

Tell me, what kind of track will we leave?

Just a mark on the ice,

while the cold hurts us

ceaselessly.

Our nights busy themselves,

we no longer know where they lead us.

Our lives, our lives chain us

to the altar of days of suffering.

And I look in vain for a direction1

And I look in vain for a direction,

(for) the light of an aurora borealis.

Light of a boreal dawn2.

Light of a boreal dawn.

Tell me, should we get off the ark

while the world is riding

a high speed lane

ceaselessly?

Tell me, what kind of track will we leave?

Just a mark on the ice,

while the cold hurts us

ceaselessly.
