I know you’re dancing

I’d like time to accelerate,
for it to erase all our scenes of war,
and that this story start again.
 
There are many swimmers who return,
there are many forests that die out, 1
there are many stars that move on. 2
 
You, I know you’re dancing.
...I know you’re dancing.
 
I see in my scarlet nights,
devils and gods fighting,
in front of your swaying hair
 
While my strength evaporates,
while my hands search for your body,
in all the weight of silence.
 
I know you’re dancing.
...I know you’re dancing.
 
I see your image everywhere,
marks on the places where,
your perfume lingers still
 
I see your image everywhere…
 
I’ll do my best to smile,
I’ll lower my eyes to tell you,
how immense the winters are.
 
Without you saying a word,
without even your feet touching the ground.
When you return if the thought occurs to you.
 
I’d like you to dance.
...I’d like you to dance.
 
There’ll be your image everywhere,
marks on the places where,
your perfume lingers still.
 
There’ll be your image everywhere…
 
There’ll be you image everywhere,
marks on the places where,
Where I still see your transparent body.
 
There’ll be your image everywhere…
...There’ll be your image everywhere...
 
  • 1. Not entirely sure if this is a forest or a forest fire that is dying out here
  • 2. Literally more like "there are truly stars etc...but that makes for clumsy English
