Lyrics
En ce temps læ je dormais dans un petit
lit, dans un coin, et j’observais cet ami, veuf qui
partageait son existence avec moi.
Quelquefois dans le cræpuscule la monotonie, mais
j'ætais douce, je me pliais æ ce que je supposais etre l’ordre
de l’univers Il ouvrait les fenetres pour laisser entrer un peu d’air et quand il nelgeait, le vent soufflait la neige, et tous les deux assis on attendait
que l’hiver continue.
(da/from Fleur Jaeggy)
Lyrics translation
At that time there I slept in a small
bed, in a corner, and I was watching this friend, widower who
shared his existence with me.
Sometimes in the twilight monotony, but
I was sweet, I was bending what I supposed to be the order
from the universe he opened the windows to let in a little air and when it nelgeava, the wind blew the snow, and both sat waiting
let the winter continue.
(DA / from Fleur Jaeggy)
