English translation by Ender Smith (Happy Leviathan):

A billion hearts are beating,
in a fleeting, temporal way.
In a moment's pause,
in a blink, they vanish away;
like a flash retreating.

Captured here in tomorrow's past
and lamenting the future, I wait.
I will not lose you!
can't afford to miscalculate --
you're falling too fast!

"Infinity:"
a concept that we made up,
to call our dream and our love
and the right to brag
of the futures that
we have sketched inside our heads.

"Finality:"
one day, the clockface will show;
two hands will point to accuse.
And I will go
to the crossroads
of endings and fate --
Hacking to the Gate!

In this second I'd
cross over world-lines to find
a way to keep you safe from harm!
I'd tear through the fabric of time,
if I could protect your smile!

Once again, I'll fall
into the into the hole that I made,
into a tearless loop of time --
a lonely observer to stay,
and the paradox to reconcile!

Endless proofs, lovely points of view,
revelations never enough --
thoughts so trivial,
you don't even bother to laugh.
It would only bore you.

Foolish! These so-called scientists
posit theorems, act like they hold;
they are childish,
yet they claim to rule the world --
ignorant bliss!

"Infinity:"
What's beyond our sky?
And what's between you and I?
We have claimed the right
to imagine that
these answers might be found.

"Finality:"
it chips away till you're gone,
allowing time to flow on.
I will stop it though,
stop tomorrow,
deny empty fate --
Hacking to the Gate!

I cannot pretend
that I could ever forget
all the promises I made my friends
back when we stood in the sun
and we made our master plans.

So, I'll use ev'ry
trick I have left to succeed
in deceiving time to get you back!
A lonely observer, I'll be,
when I never have to doubt again!
