i will light my last cigarette
while drinking my Shiraz wine
i will set on fire
everything we lived

i won’t be looking back
when i’m departing
to the ashes
remainder from you...

i will fly to the hot sun
and rest on green meadows
will join to the offered dance
and enjoy it

by stretching out my hands
i will see and know...
and will hear the voice calling me
i will laugh fearlessly

without a doubt i will feel
purified from all the pain
i will swim in your blue sea
when watching a star blow out

we will make a wish
i will dress in hue
and become a child again

afresh with the speed of a whirlwind
i will be running free
with my wild fins
i will dive in to your sea
without thinking
i will love freely...

how many painful days
have i left under the sun?
