I looked at my back
With no heaven without mercy
The soles of my feet spread
They walked through the hour
To the beginning and to the end of time
And to the bright days lasting
Across his valley
You came down
To a miserable precedent
And you lifted the shadow from his valley
Thanks and shame
The measure on each hand
We will raise your praise
In the way of God
Oh we will praise
The love and the grace
That gave us life
br/>So obedient under the sun
She shines down
On distant stars.
English translation
I looked behind me
Without rancour without pity
To where my footprints were scattered
On their journey through the dust
From the beginning to an end of time
And to the bright everlasting days
Beyond the valley
You came down
To a barren wilderness
And you raised the shadow
From the valley
Gratitude and shame
The measure in each hand
We will proclaim your name in voice
On Gods way
We will praise
The love and the grace
That gave us our existence
So lowly beneath the sun
As it poured out ist light
On alien stars.
