Translation:

 

Three Days

  Standing in the heart of the desert
I have not one star
The wind is silent
The sand will not preserve my footprints.
 
Standing in the heart of the desert
I have not even one star
And the wind is not whispering to me...
 
I called out : answer me!
He did not answer.
I cried out : open!
He did not.
The night was burning hot and dry
I went to a different gate to try.
 
I called out : answer me!
He did not answer.
I cried out : open!
He did not.
The night was strangling and sedate
I went to try a different gate.
 
I whispered : answer me!
He did not answer.
I pleaded : open!
He did not.
That morning the sun rose, but dew wouldn't fall
Thus I was found by the guards of the wall.
 
Three days his memory haunted me.
And on the fourth I cut the bread
And on the fourth I opened the window
And on the fourth I saw the sea...
 
Three days his memory haunted me.
And on the fourth I knew
The sea was beautiful and blue
And in the salty breeze
The scent of waves
But not the taste of tears.
