  • THE GLOW(ENGLISH TRANSLATION BY KIM VU~)

    The glow tips back and forth at the waves' current
    My teeth rattle to the Rumba beat
    A chill runs through the spine of my back
    And my chest is about to explode in the air.

    Is that the pirates or the saviors?
    The glow bobbles about in the dark
    We surrender ourselves to Fate
    Is life or death waiting, no one can see.

    I wish I were a trifling cricket
    Hiding somewhere on the bottom of the dinghy
    I wish I were a veil of smoke
    Meandering toward a nameless island in the sea.

    Not having come to the end of the road
    Who could have said who's courageous, who's cowardly?
    In the very depths of my fear
    Is the glow hovering like a ghost.

    In the immense cold of the sea
    The glow unwittingly misleads
    As we come closer to it
    We see  a beaten boat with people like ourselves.

    We wave goodbye to each other in despair
    Sharing our common plight in haste
    Then the two boats with engines long dead
    Drift again into the unknown realm...
