Dove un tempo
troneavano possenti mura cittadine
oggi il vento soffia solitario
sulle dune di sabbia e pietre erose dal tempo
e dove
i re si immortalavano
nei polverosi libri di storia
che nessuno legge più
e
gli eroi venivano acclamati
i cui nomi gloriosi
sono caduti nell’oblio
la
gloria non è altro che
un respiro sussurrato con riverenza
sulle rovine e sulle ossa

Glory sinks into oblivion:
Where once
mighty city walls stood tall
today the wind blows lonely
over sand dunes of weathered stones
and where
kings immortalized themselves
in dusty history books
that no one reads anymore
and
heroes were celebrated,
whose glorious names
have sunk into oblivion
there
glory is now nothing more than
reverently exhaled breath
over ruins and bones
.
.
.
Ruhm versinkt in die Bedeutungslosigkeit:
Wo einst
mächtige Stadtmauern thronten
weht heute einsam der Wind
über Sanddünen verwitterter Steine
und wo
Könige sich verewigten
in verstaubten Geschichtsbüchern
die niemand mehr liest
und
Helden umjubelt wurden
deren glorreiche Namen
in Vergessenheit gesunken sind
ist
Ruhm nur noch
ehrfürchtig ausgehauchter Atem
über Ruinen und Knochen
