Vor einem Winter (Eva Strittmatter)
Ich mach ein Lied aus Stille
und aus Septemberlicht.
Das Schweigen einer Grille
geht ein in mein Gedicht.
Der See und die Libelle.
Das Vogelbeerenrot.
Die Arbeit einer Quelle.
Der Herbstgeruch von Brot.
Der Bäume Tod und Träne.
Der schwarze Rabenschrei.
Der Orgelflug der Schwäne.
Was es auch immer sei,
Das über uns die Räume
Aufreißt und riesig macht
Und fällt in unsre Träume
in einer finstren Nacht.
Ich mach ein Lied aus Stille.
Ich mach ein Lied aus Licht.
So geh ich in den Winter.
Und so vergeh ich nicht.

Weightless
When you tried to please them
You never felt at ease, then
A headache started growing
That held you back from going
The path that you were meant to
Fortunately you came here.
Can you see a reason
Why everybody’s teasing
Are we supposed to glitter
When the taste of fame is bitter-
Sweet, now don’t stop running
Until you jump and take the sky!
Now fly!
Over the land you once belonged
Where people live you had to leave on your way
Unable to stay
For too long in one place.
Say goodbye to what’s past,
It’s past and gone
and
weightless!
An altitude you never known
Everything looks so small from the distance up here
The sky is huge
And you are free.
Like a seagull that’s meant to soar the sea -
Fearless!
