Old Bitterness
An old bitterness
approached his house
early in the morning
when I was leaving:
Don't you see, young one,
where our little house is?
If we don't hurry,
we'll lose it there.
But all together
we tried to push it away,
it's starting to get heavy,
soon it will fall.
There's a strong blow from there,
and a blow from here,
let's see how
soon it will fall.
But time goes by,
we have started to get tired,
our hands are tied,
and we let go of our strength.
Even if it's heavy,
it still has a load,
let's try again
to breathe together:
But all together
we tried to push it away ...
The old bitterness is missing
from next to our house,
a bad wind took it
and carried it away.
I see some children
and around them,
I want to show
the old grandfather's song:
But all together
we tried to push it away...
