Gabrielė Vilkickytė - Patalai English Translation
Full cups for empty hearts
In the warmth of a stranger's loneliness
My eyes water at what I see
And I see the same every night
The stars watch us fall
In the echoes of crowded cities
In the last bar, lonely eyes
Pressing hearts
It's hard to warm in a stranger's arms
Conscience runs down the pipe again
I don't have a ticket back yet
I'm small - call me an insect
Eyes heavy as sin
I've learnt the floor in my mind
Hello!" says yet another
And you quickly raise your eyes
Here's a map from my body
Here is my river
Here are my forests
But you probably don't want to waste your time
So here - under the left - are my beds
Out of the windows of the farmhouses
Waking up to grey mornings
The haunting silence will kick and kick and kick
Remember - you combed her hair
In a little room
In the early mornings
