If You Forget Me - Pablo Neruda
2 min read
...
I want you to know
one thing.
You know how this is:
if I look
at the crystal moon, at the red branch
of the slow autumn at my window,
if I touch
near the fire
the impalpable ash
or the wrinkled body of the log,
everything carries me to you,
as if everything that exists,
aromas, light, metals,
were little boats
that sail
toward those isles of yours that wait for me.
Well, now,
if little by little you stop loving me
I shall stop loving you little by little.
If suddenly
you forget me
do not look for me,
for I shall already have forgotten you.
If you think it long and mad,
the wind of banners
that passes through my life,
and you decide
to leave me at the shore
of the heart where I have roots,
remember
that on that day,
at that hour,
I shall lift my arms
and my roots will set off
to seek another land.
But
if each day,
each hour,
you feel that you are destined for me
with implacable sweetness,
if each day a flower
climbs up to your lips to seek me,
ah my love, ah my own,
in me all that fire is repeated,
in me nothing is extinguished or forgotten,
my love feeds on your love, beloved,
and as long as you live it will be in your arms
without leaving mine ...
one thing.

DER ALTE MANNS RISSE

DER ALTE MANNS RISSE
Einst hatte ich ein Spiel irgendwo aufgepaßt.
Es gab einen gekräuselten alten Mann in diesem Spiel.
Tragende zackige Kleidung.
Bedeutungslosen flüchtigen Blick in seinen Augen haben.
Zu alt sein, keine Energie habend, die gelassen wird und verlassen ist. Linkes allein, nachdem gelebt habend nichts.
Seine Risse hatten weder gestoppt noch beendet.
Er hatte soviel Mühe, daß gehabt nicht überhaupt beendet.
Die Atmung war sein Profit und lebte war sein nur Ehrgeiz. , die größte Tragödie spielend in der Welt.
Auf dem Lebenstadium ohne Vorhänge.
Er hattest an, du hast einen Anhaltspunkt überschritten?

DER MORGEN DANACH - LACRIMOSA
2 min read
Doch niemand sieht Dich so wie ich
Denn in dem Schatten deines Lichts
Ganz weit dort hinten sitze ich
Ich brauche Dich - Ich brauch dein Licht
Denn aus dem Schatten kann ich nicht
Du siehst mich nicht - du kennst mich nicht
Doch aus der Ferne lieb ich Dich
Ich achte Dich - verehre Dich
Ich hoff auf Dich - begehre Dich
Erfühle Dich - erlebe Dich
begleite Dich - erhebe Dich
Kann nicht mehr leben ohne Dich
Dies ist der Morgen danach
Und meine Seele liegt brach
Dies ist der Morgen danach
Ein neuer Tag beginnt
Und meine Zeit verrint
Dieses alles schreib ich dir
Und mehr noch brächt ich zu Papier
Könnt ich in Worten alles Leiden
Meiner Liebe dir beschreiben
Nicht die Botschaft zu beklagen
Sollen diese Zeilen tragen
Nur - Ich liebe Dich - doch sagen
Heute Nacht erhälst du dies
Ich bete daß du dieses liest
Im Morgengrauen erwart ich Dich
Ich warte auf dein strahlend Licht
Ich träume daß du mich bald siehst
Du morgen in den Schatten kniest
Und mich zu dir ins Lichte ziehst
Dies ist der Morgen danach
Und meine Seele liegt brach
Dies ist der Morgen danach
Ein neuer Tag beginnt
Und meine Zeit verrint ...

Als wie ich fortging von dir in jenem Abendrot.
Der Wald schluckte mich, der blaue Wald, ma soeur
Über dem immer schon die bleichen Gestirne im Westen standen.
Ich lachte kein klein wenig, gar nicht, ma soeur
Der ich spielend dunklem Schicksal entgegenging --
Während schon die Gesichter hinter mir
Langsam im Abend des blauen Walds verblaЯten.
Alles war schön an diesem einzigen Abend, ma soeur
Nachher nie wieder und nie zuvor --
Freilich: mir blieben nur mehr die groЯen Vögel
Die abends im dunklen Himmel Hunger haben.
[Translation]
I never loved you more, ma soeur
Than as I walked away from you that evening.
The forest swallowed me, the blue forest, ma soeur
The blue forest and above it pale stars in the west.
I did not laugh, not one little bit, ma soeur
As I playfully walked towards a dark fate --
While the faces behind me
Slowly paled in the evening of the blue forest.
Everything was grand that one night, ma soeur
Never thereafter and never before --
I admit it: I was left with nothing but the big birds
And their hungry cries in the dark evening sky...

Solidarity Song - Bertolt Brecht
2 min read
Join to serve the common cause!
So it feeds us all for ever
See to it that it's now yours.
Forward, without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when eating
Forward, not forgetting
Our solidarity!
Black or white or brown or yellow
Leave your old disputes behind.
Once start talking with your fellow
Men, you'll soon be of one mind.
Forward, without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when eating
Forward, not forgetting
Our solidarity!
If we want to make this certain
We'll need you and your support.
It's yourselves you'll be deserting
if you rat your own sort.
Forward, without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when eating
Forward, not forgetting
Our solidarity!
All the gang of those who rule us
Hope our quarrels never stop
Helping them to split and fool us
So they can remain on top.
Forward, without forgetting
Where our strength can be seen now to be!
When starving or when eating
Forward, not forgetting
Our solidarity!
Workers of the world, uniting
Thats the way to lose your chains.
Mighty regiments now are fighting
That no tyrrany remains!
Forward, without forgetting
Till the concrete question is hurled
When starving or when eating:
Whose tomorrow is tomorrow?
And whose world is the world?
