The Dead and the Living

Very good morning in the first place,
If it's daytime.
Very good nights in the first place,
If it's nighttime.
Very good life in the first place,
If it's life.
Very good death in the first place,
If it's death.
Good morning,
If you look up to the sky and see clarity.
Good night,
If you look up to the sky and see darkness.
Good life,
If behind the mirror there's a name.
Good death,
If behind the mirror there's a man.

They can listen to the radio,
Read the newspaper,
Dress again,
Have money,
Sleep at night,
Wash a car,
Get married one day,
Ride a tram,
Talk about the weather,
Feel the wind:

The dead know as much about life
As I do.

Very good morning in the first place,
If it's morning.
Very good nights in the first place,
If it's morning.

Very good life in the first place,
If it's morning.
Very good death in the first place,
If it's still today.
Good morning,
If you look up to the sky that is no longer day.
Good night,
If you look up to the sky that is no longer night.
Good life,
If behind the mirror there's no one.
Good death,
If behind the mirror there's the air.

They can smell scents,
Change colors,
Fly to the sky,
Talk about ice,
Sleep floating,
Sing while singing,
Love with everyone,
Travel in a balloon,
Build a bridge,
Know themselves as people:

The living know as much about death
As I do:

The dead know as much about life
As I do.
