Before, I loved the rainy mornings of my life

And I never thought that friendly mountain passes

Would ferry me away

But  now happy times are seldom

And the rain runs away with me.

 

From holiday beach to temptestous sea

The thunder clouds gather like swarms of angry bees

I have lost my faith in the indomitable sea.

And I have lost my faith in humanity

I sing only one song now

'Protect the young and defend the free.'

 

O! the mechanical movement of the sun

Sunshine blooms and nectar spreads

Like a tender tree

Covering  all that's dappled, fair

Like a changeling in the ocean, 

Lke the yearning to be free, and unlike me.
