Falling StarsThe crossties bear small flowers, the rusty tracks line up side by sideI walk barefoot on the weadows, when I incidentally look up to the moonless starry skyA panorama of falling stars downpouring, a twinkling from some ten thousand light yearsThe sequined Greek mythologies color the azure clear sky (1)My tiptoes blotted, I walk pulling your handWith my dirtied palm as you look up to the skyI will not forget it, the true color of the landscape that you lovedBut now, even the stardust is too dazzlingLovers swallowing back their tears and shiveringTheir hands, fastened so warmly it is sadDo not forget it, the beauty of the future of which you dreamedA cluster of meteors, stars that vanished, your smiling faceBlame me for having blocked your skyNow, what do you feel about the sky up to which you used to look?Lovers swallowing back their tears and shiveringTheir hands, fastened so wispily, so feeblyYour flowing tears become stars andFill this sky, now turning to meteorsSongtexteStars coloring the clear sky, beneath the tracks wet by the night dewWhite four-petal flowers keeping alive fleetingly on the rotten crosstiesAs if our linked hands could never be separatedAs if our linked fingers would never partOverhead, falling stars downpour, just like an early summer rain or an evening drizzleI walk barefoot on the fastidious ground, this railway track as my only leadYour hand linked warmlyTo my dirtied palmI walk in this panorama of downpouring falling stars, my tiptoes blottedAs if I would never let go of your linked handAs if our linked hearts could never be torn offFootnotes:1 - I can only guess that he is refering to constellations here, since the vast majority are named after heroes or creatures of Greek mythology.
