Jeden Abend [English translation]

Every evening when the day is already wearing its nightdress

This dark blue, littered with stars

I stand by the window and see myself

In a wizard's cloak, full of wisdom and pride

I endowed visions and hid dreams

Guided destiny and awoke ideas

I have lived, have experienced what is black, what is white

Now I see the middle, the gray, the circle

Every evening when the sun sets

An old man stands by the window

Thoughts ramble into the dark night

Memories of things that he once achieved

Every evening when the wind blows away the noise

Every evening when quiet and rest have returned

Then I dream by the window and feel

The breath of the night that rocks me into calmness

I remember how I once was

So restless like the wind during the day

Every evening when the sun sets

An old man stands by the window

Thoughts ramble into the dark night

Memories of days that he once spent

And he laughs

Every evening when the sun sets

An old man stands by the window

Thoughts ramble into the dark night

Memories of days that he once spent

I wanted to be this old man

Every evening when the light goes out

An old man stands by the window

Youth once bloomed and now withers

So I stand by the window and look at the world

And every evening night falls

And I go to sleep smiling by the window
