Resignation Für Anfänger [English translation]

Don´t search for anything. There is noting to find,

Nothing to comprehend. Accept it.

When it's time, the linden will prosper

Above the freshly-dug grave.

When it's time, the darkness will fade away,

The reborn light will twinkle.

Nothing is finall. Everything continues on.

And you will be serene. Or maybe not.

Between vanishing and restarting

Lies the impossible. And it happens.

How and why were never meant to be discovered.

The newness of the ancient song resounds anew.

Don't perish by trying to fathom meaning.

Don't search for it. Then you may find it.
