English translation
I once gathered notes
That were scattered across eighty-eight seperate scenes
In those days, I walked over the staves
Which had notes expressing feelings that could not be put in wordsSo I let the chords of thirds
Interplay with each other and brought them to lifeI'm walkings straight in molto cantabile style
On a musical path
There's nothing else I can do
Forgetting the constaints of time
And being completely free
My fingers keep playing it over
A deep and endless crescendo
I'm walking towards someoneIn the world that just opened up before my eyes,
Is a new and returning preludeEighty-eight dreams and stories
Missing rests, changing harmonies
Softly and quietly, I catch my breath
Until I become who I'm supposed to beEven though they balance each other
I play the chords of thirds and bring them to lifeWhen I sing, I believe
Though I keep getting distracted from my song
I trip over the tempo
And get tangled over my improvisations
And the path to that place disappears
It's coming closer, that path
I lost the voice of melody
I'm walking towards someoneBefore my eyes, a door is shutting
There is sadness in the étude I've been givenAh, in my mind, I was edgy
I pushed away the hand on my shoulder
But I could never
Lose the heart to singI'm walking straight in molto cantabile style
On a musical path
A deep and endless crescendo
I'm walking towards someoneOn the edge of the stage is a pianist
To live is what this song is all aboutIn the world that just opened up before my eyes,
Is a new and returning prelude
