Plötsligt en dag framför spegelen
kommer den
otäcka sanningen
stygg i sitt hån,
ser lite medlidsamt på mig
och frågar sen:
Var har den gamlingen
kommit ifrån?
Nyss låg du liten och rosig
och spenavarm,
trygg vid din moders barm,
nykläckt och grann,
nu, efter bara ett långvarigt
ögonblick
i ett förbrukat skick
barnet försvann.
Livet är fasligt kort,
snart ska man vissna bort,
kvar blir blott fotografier.
Kom nu min älskade, spill ingen tid,
snart tager tystnaden vid,
med sin förfärliga frid,
utan bekymmer och strid.
Knappt har man kommit, så skyndar man ut,
evighet krymper ihop till minut.
älskade, hit med din trut!
Snart är det trevliga slut,
ingenting blir som förut.
Älskade, hit med din trut!
Snart är det trevliga slut,
ingenting blir som förut.
TRANSLATION:
Suddenly, one day
Suddenly, one day, while facing the mirror,
the spiteful truth shows up,
malicious in its mockery.
Pityingly it looks at me
and then asks:
Where did this old man come from?
Just a moment ago
you were lying tiny and rosy
and warm,
safe in your mother’s bosom,
a hatchling so sweet.
Now after a long moment,
in used condition
the child disappeared
Life is awfully short,
one will soon fade away,
and only photographs remain
Come now, my beloved, waste no time,
silence will take over soon,
with its terrible peace,
without worries or strife.
No sooner have we arrived, than we must hurry to depart,
eternity shrinks to a minute.
Beloved, here with your kisser!
The pleasant times will soon be over,
nothing will be as it once was.
Beloved, here with your kisser!
The pleasant times will soon be over,
nothing will be as it once was.

A great folk-pop act from Buenos Aires, I really like their songs and their innovative way of presenting them. There's world music and indie, nature and urbanity. Be sure to check them out!
