It was time - we were entering into life.
Mighty, firm foot:
Doubts evil did not bother
Then our mind is young.
Dreams proudly called us
To live for others, to serve others,
And we all fervently desired.
It's not useful to live a life.
But those years have long since passed;
Life went on as usual -
And with the past we forever parted
And life healed differently.
We have forgotten our wishes:
They passed for us like dreams,
And our past dreams
We became strange and funny.
