Do not leave city

1. This quiet (German) town as if dead.
Silence on the streets such a deathly rest.
The full moon stretches smoothly over the river.
Illuminates the back streets and alleys,
In which rare guest of the city walks
In the evenings with ladies and dogs.

Bridge:
Do not leave people.
Do not leave empty
Cozy small cities
Die without breathing eyes

Heavy stone blocks
Fill the space of the earth
With ruins of useless
Human groundworks


2. Seems to me that people who live here
Are not just people but the actors in this area.
They were delivered here specifically,
So that the city did not seem so empty

In this city, every branch crunch decay
Almost perceived as the joy of the day.
If you see someone other than me
Heart fills happy and free.

Bridge:

3. Also you see no lights in the windows.
One house has no more than five in the evening.
The chimes of the city clock shine around.
For thin shadows of people`s bloodhound.

Here everyone is single but for every other friend.
What kind of burning eyes do passerby phantoms meet.
The joy of casual street meetings is beyond words
Almost like wanderer in the desert.


Bridge:

4a
Maybe it is their job to live in this abandoned place.
Maybe someone pays their apartments lease,
If only lights in the houses were on.
If only they did not throw.

Bridge:
Do not leave people.
Do not leave empty
Cozy small cities
Die without breathing eyes

Heavy stone blocks
Fill the space of the earth
With ruins of useless
Human groundworks
