Translation of Noch Bist Du Da, by Rose Auslaender

Still, you are there

Throw your fear
into the air

Soon
your time is up
Soon
the heavens grow
under the grass
your dreams fall
into nowhere

Still
the cloves breathe scent,
the thrush sings
still you may love,
trade promises
still, you are there

Be who you are
Give what you have
