Old cat

Verse 1

He rushed into battle again,

and he didn't know then that this was his last moment, his last hour, his last time,

when he fought not for himself,

not for others,

but for the future—a moment

that this little heart

would sprinkle victory...

Pre-Chorus

But eternal sleep,

and peace shattered,

that it will no longer entwine what

he defended in that moment...

Chorus

But he will remain faithful to her,

like a faithful star,

like a guide in a burning world...

but they will not forget...

they will not curse...

Verse 2

But they will remember forever,

the flame of the soul,

that warmed their hearts

in this dark world...

Bridge (Questions)

We do not choose the place

where we die...

Where will they bury us...

Where do we want to stay...?

Our souls weep with longing...

Words unspoken...

Songs unsung...

We don't understand how we live...

And where do we want to spend eternity?

Verse 3

Great mountains,

distant rivers,

forgotten snow,

cunning wine,

a pleasant thunderstorm,

and squeamish eyes,

the laughter of the night and the sadness of the day—

they will never forget me,

just as I have not forgotten the bright abyss

and the faded sky.

Outro

In my soul, I am a simple old cat,

and in life, I have overlooked my flight.
