Brother,you who have the light, tell me mine.
I am like a blind man. I go without direction and fumble along.

blind with fantasy and crazy with harmony.

is the iron jacket with a thousand bloody points

spill the drops of my melancholy.
And so I go, blind and crazy, through this bitter world;
at times it seems to me that the path is very long,
and at times that it's very short ...
And in this back-and-forth between eagerness and agony,
I am full of woes I can hardly bear.
