I was sixteen when, for the first time
I went to a cemetary
In order not to joke around
making fun of the deads burried.
I was sixteen when, for the first time,
as the grown ups whom I observed,
I uncovered the great mistery
in the softness of your sheets.
I was sixteen for my first time and if I could do it again
I'll do it ten thousand times
until I'm finally buried.
I was sixteen when, for the first time
I saw, going into the ground
surrounded by a wheeping crowd
a funny looking wooden box.
I was sixteen my first time,
and despite all my prayers,
I got the meaning of "transience"
because of the time it lasted.
I was sixteen for my first time and if I could do it again
I'll do it ten thousand times
Until I'm finally burried.
I was sixteen when, for the first time
something that I did not notice
and was running into my veins
suddenly just vanished .
I was sixteen my first time
and if I am here for the last
I'd like to be dumped in the sea
when my time finally comes.
I was sixteen for my first time and if I could do it again
I'll do it ten thousand times
until I'm finally burried.
Time flees but in the end
I still find them similar
From seventh heaven to hell
from high above to low below
because if one is soft as silk
and the other grim and bitter
whatever you may do
you can only feel them once.
