where was I on this disastrous saturday? |
||||
|
a saturday just as many of them before |
|||
|
a saturday, on which You wanted to live intensely |
|||
|
a saturday, on which You were to die |
|||
|
|
where was I when You needed me? |
||||
|
where was I when that train of tragedy was waiting for You? |
|||
|
where was I when that light vanished? |
|||
|
where was I when the fear crushed You? |
|||
|
where was I when the smoke killed You? |
|||
|
|
where was my hand which should have led You? |
|||||
|
where was my hand which should have sheltered You? |
||||
|
where was my hand ... ? |
||||
|
where ... ? |
||||
|
|
I saw the mountain |
||||
|
the mountain that called You |
|||
|
the mountain, with all its glory |
|||
|
The mountain... all white! |
|||
|
|
I saw people with a smile on their faces |
|||||||||||
|
I saw the people in a different light |
||||||||||
|
I saw glad people |
||||||||||
|
I saw people forgetting... |
||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||
but I also saw the tunnel with its gruesome gullet |
|||||||||||
|
the tunnel, pretending safety |
||||||||||
|
the tunnel, leading upwards |
||||||||||
|
the tunnel, dug by men |
||||||||||
|
the tunnel, in which they died |
||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||
my eyes donīt se You no more |
|||||||||||
|
they are filled with tears |
||||||||||
|
my ears donīt hear You no more |
||||||||||
|
though my heart beats fast |
||||||||||
|
|
||||||||||
you are my son |
|||||||||||
|
no matter when |
||||||||||
|
You are my son |
||||||||||
|
no matter where |
||||||||||
|
You are my son |
(von Arthur Warias, sen.) |
