Tempera [English translation]

Underneath my boat’s stern

In the deep, the morning got tangled up

Like faces of old men

The sea in the distance all wrinkled up

Just like tempera

The rain has painted the sky, the sea

That is the color of my heart

Since you’ve stopped loving me

When the winter then came

The algae grew all over my boat’s hull

As they did with my name

In the deep oblivion of your love

Just like tempera

The rain has painted the sky, the sea

That is the color of my heart

Since you’ve stopped loving me
