-Ich kann dich noch sehen-New Song, Lyrics by Paul Celan
Today I uploaded a new Song, it is not finished yet, but I thought, there is no time to waste ; )
The Poem is by Paul Celan (1920-1970 suicide) a german poet and author. I tried to translate as good as I can, but the poem is even in german language a little bit strange. Voice by Ulrich Pleitgen.
ICH KANN DICH NOCH SEHEN
(I can still see you)
Ich kann Dich noch sehen: Ein Echo.
(I can still see you: an echo.)
ertastbar mit Fühl-
(touchable with feel/sense-)
wörtern, am Abschiedsgrat.
(words, at the farewell-spine.)
Dein Gesicht scheut leise,
(Your face takes fright quietly,)
wenn es auf einmal
(when it suddenly)
lampenhaft hell wird
(gets bright like a lamp)
in mir, an der Stelle,
(in me, at the spot,)
wo man am schmerzlichsten Nie sagt.
(where someone says painfully "Never".)
