Wenn ein Mensch lebt English translation
von Puhdys

If a person lives a short while,
The world says, that he went too soon.
If a person lives a long time,
The world says, it was time.
My girlfriend is beautiful.
When I got up, she had gone.
She does not awaken, until she stirs.
I have lain myself down in her shadow.


Everything has its time:
Gathering stones, scattering stones,
Planting trees, cutting down trees,
Living, dying, and conflict.
