In the bonfires of war, in the flames, in the fire

Amongst stormy days of blood

I pass my small lamp

To search, to search for a human being

 

The flames of the fire are extinguishing my lamp

The light of the fire is dazzling my eyes;

How will I look how will I see, how will I know, how will I be aware

When He stands before me?

 

Give me a sign Lord, give me a sign on his forehead

That in the fire, and the flames and the blood

I will know the pure, eternal spark

That which I searched for, a human being
