When those who go, go go,
When the last day rose
In light blonde,
When those who go, go go,
Forever and ever
Deep under the earth,
When light was veiled,
When those we have loved
Will close their eyelids,
If nothing is spared,
Oh, that at least be answered
Their last prayer:
They sleep, fall asleep
Quiet, quiet.
Those who did not ask
But who knew marvel
Being from the earth
That leaves them choose at least
The country, he was distant,
In their last hour.
So they go to bed their bodies
Below skies purple and gold
Beyond Borders
Or they fall asleep, arms,
Like eternal betrothed
In the pale light.
When those who will go go
Forever and ever
In the garden of silence
Under their cold marble house
In large treeless fairways,
I think of you, my mother.
They have to remember last,
The warmth of our smiles
As last embrace.
Maybe they sleep better
If we can close their eyes.
I think of you, my mother.
They sleep, fall asleep
Quiet, quiet ...
