about

The light birds of the high skies cannot fly for me but the heavy stones of the shallow water can rest for me.

lyrics

Kepeät linnut korkealla ilmassa
eivät lennä puolestani,
mutta raskaat kivet matalassa rannassa
lepäävät puolestani.
Pitkään minä lojuin synkän vuoren juurella
ja kuuntelin tuulen käskevää ääntä
männyn lujissa oksissa.
Täällä makaan mahallani ja tuijotan suoraan eteeni:
täällä kaikki on vierasta eikä herätä mitään muistoja,
ajatukseni eivät syntyneet tässä paikassa;
täällä ilma on raakaa ja kivet liukkaita,
täällä kaikki on kuollutta eikä herätä mitään muistoja,
paitsi rikkinäinen huilu jonka kevät on jättänyt rannalle.
