Und es sind die finstern Zeiten

Bertolt Brecht

Traduzione inglese da “Jewish musical modernism, old and new”,...
UND ES SIND DIE FINSTERN ZEITENAND THE TIMES ARE DARK AND FEARFUL
Und es sind die finstern Zeiten
in der anderen Stadt
Doch es bleibt beim leichten Schreiten
und die Stirn ist glatt
Harte Menschheit, unbewegt
Lang erfror'nem Fischvolk gleich
Doch das Herz bleibt schnell geregt
Und das Lächeln weich
And the times are dark and fearful in the foreign town
Yet how light is every footstep and untroubled brow.
People frozen and impassive, like a fisher long at sea!
Yet these hearts are deftly managed and these smiles are free.
