Kunezinto Translation
There were things when I was young
The young wished to be old
The old looked after the young
The young liked things that were reserved for the old
The old hid things from the young
The young respected the old
The old and the young respected life
Very calmly in case of bereavement
Death was for old people
When I was young I was afraid of the things reserved for old people
But I was not afraid of death
At Sunday School it was said
Death and sleep are the same
And those who sleep shall be awaken
When I was young I was afraid of darkness
and the funeral procession
I was afraid of the sound of grave sand
Falling like a drumbeat over a coffin
With my remains inside
Waking from the dead
When I was young I was afraid of being hidden alive
I was afraid of waking up in a hole
Screaming inaudibly
Over voices that leave gems of this world at the cemetery
When I was young
I was afraid of sleeping alone in my grave
...today the world has changed
Overcrowded are graveyards
And mortuaries
The young await the old
The old look up to the young
The young and the old are fighting for life
Death is life
It is a path for the young and old
Looking after my own flesh and blood
I ask myself, sometimes:
Bones of my blessing
I wonder where will you end up
When I don't wish upon you
Even the steam of smoke
Without a fire.
