Perfect day

(Mooie dag – Bløf)

 

The sun, the sand, the heat and a quiet mountain stream

The silence and the dryness and the emptiness of here

The sky, the earth, the greatness of the land

The wisdom from one man

That’s enough

 

There is nothing I await

Tomorrow there’s no day

I reflected my worries and the world

And every time awake I lay

I thought what a perfect day

What a perfect day

 

The grounds, the grass, the road to the horizon that distorts

Time is space here, the depth here is unexplored

The nonsense, the urge, here’s were it ends

The love from one man

That’s enough

 

There is nothing I await

Tomorrow there’s no day

I reflected my worries and the world

And every time awake I lay

I thought what a perfect day

What a perfect day to die
