Alerces Songtext
von Karl Jannuska

I have read of your history
You have seen it all
Three thousand years of memories
Permeate your walls
Your skin speaks of resistance
You′ve a weathered tone
We have grown through your presence
Planted seeds of hope


Facing inward inside (outside) of myself
Is this shadow my shelter
Here your autumn replaces my spring
I long for the flowers
Your constellations speak foreign tongues
I am lost in translation
Alerces, Alerces, Alerces
Speak to me of patience

In your wind I hear memories
Many long goodbyes
In your sun I hear brilliance
Dancing on the tides
In your rain I hear chanting
Mourning those who've died
In your snow I hear silence
Falling out of time
