English Original
Chinese silver coin
you handed me
as I left for Canada
lost to the sky --
a full moon
German Translation by Dietmar Tauchner
die chinesische Silbermünze
die du mir gabst
als ich nach Kanada aufbrach
verloren an den Himmel --
der volle Mond

forty the age his father died
he mutters
*the Grim Reaper haunts me*
*like my walking shadow*
breaking news
at the first light of spring daw...
