Today, the sun is up in the sky
Today, we ´re twenty, the weather's fine
Today, we tell each other words of love until sunrise
Today, we are as free as doves
Today is the day of carnal love
Today, we kiss each other, we ´ve got nothing else to think of.
Yet, hovers the colour red, a bit like blood, on our children's dreams
And ,for having bled so long, our hearts break at the seams
When things of life look undone, when the twilight comes,
How deep and deeper looks the dance-gods ' anger.
Oh my sweet love, look at me
Oh my sweet love, life goes astray
Oh my sweet love don't go away
Oh my sweet love, you dance in me
Don't leave me down, please look at me
Today's the day of flying geese
Today means wild grass and the reeds
Today, we let ourselves get wrapped up in bliss
Repeat
