Esodi [English translation]

On this border

It was written just like that:

The last one leaving turns off the light and then

That no one could see

Where it is

This poor country

In ruins

An old man stayed there

With his almost dried pain because

Too many tears have already been wept

They make the void inside you

Being from here I can't go away, he said

My feet are too tired and then

This land is my land, look there

I planted this cherry tree myself

And in a few months it'll flourish

Like a sign of hope will flourish again

And seeing this long track

Squeezes my heart more than ever

Seeing that

They'll go away

All of the friends

All of the voices

They'll go

The birds, too

In the morning

They'll go away

Away from here

Away from this misfortune

This winter at the doors

Which other coldness will it blow

They'll go away

All the things

The young brides

They'll go away

How far - who knows it

How long it'll take

Before they stop for a while ...

On this border

It was written basically like that:

The last one leaving turns off the light and then

That you'll never come back

As long as it won't come -

The good times of common sense

For humanity

On this border ...
