1. The fireplace gathered light and darkness
And we sat in the form of an old man

2. And the flames crept in its embers
As the light of the sun crept at the edge of the shade

3. And we were redeeming it, in it is youth
And we reserve it close to us and in contact

4. Until the grayness of ashes covered its forehead
And it became an old man in temper and form

5. We abandoned it, as the singers abandoned necessarily
So it became for us neither passing nor sweet
