Death, The Teacher

this war inside me dies, I am reborn grateful

Death, The Teacher
Back into Nothingness, 1884. Max Klinger

Muerte / Death

Lyrics from Natalia Lafourcade - Muerte (English Translation)

I give thanks to Death

For teaching me to live

For inviting me out

Revealing my fortune

Grabbing my hand

Giving me life

Saving me from evil

As I cling to the present

This war inside me dies, I am reborn grateful

This war inside me dies, I am reborn grateful

I give thanks to the flowers

To the aroma of jasmine

For inviting me to the garden

The place where I offer my sorrows

I drink thе liquors like potions

Sacred to the Earth

Thе pain is finally buried

And I surrender to joy

I may not know who I am

But only by falling I can find out

I may not know who I am, then

Not to fall terrifies me
