English Translation *The Sound* When I was just a small man, A sound was ringing in my chest. And when I grew bigger, The sound too went stiffer. Now the sound has almost buried me, The chest has grown weak under it. That sound, my life and my soul, Too small the earthly circle has become. When I was just a small man, A sound was ringing in my chest. And when I grew bigger, The sound too went stiffer. The sound in the chest, in the chest stiffer.
