Renewal

Unexplained tiredness,
Trembling in the knees, not understood.
This is an hour that will never return – but…

In your heart, you surely know
That just around the corner
New love waits

After the holidays, everything will be renewed.
Ordinary days will return, renewed.
The air, the earth, the rain and the fire –
Also you, you too, will be renewed.

In your garden there suddenly blooms
In total confusion –
The tree of dreams
And the tree of the knowledge of good and evil.

Look over the tools
Which you left out in the yard
The hammer, the ladder, the hoe

After the holidays, everything will be renewed.
Ordinary days will return, renewed.
The air, the earth, the rain and the fire –
Also you, you too, will be renewed.

The air, the earth, the rain and the fire –
Also you, you too, will be renewed.

In an unending journey
Between the fields of shadow and the fields
of light,
There is a path you have not traveled
And which you will travel.

The hourglass, the clock of your lifetime,
Signals to you now – 34, 35, 36

After the holidays, everything will be renewed.
Ordinary days will return, renewed.
The air, the earth, the rain and the fire –
Also you, you too, will be renewed.

After the holidays, everything will be renewed.
Ordinary days will return, renewed.
The air, the earth, the rain and the fire –
Also you, you too, will be renewed.
