Lyrics

For a blissful moment we sat quietly
And saw the butterflies dance.
With golden wings they fluttered
in the glittering sunlight.

We thought: it would be good
to remember each of these moments
as time, made up of all the other moments,
collects into a year.

The very moment, when all of the pain there is,
has grown into a wound.
