ACT III ~ Credo

10. PANKUR:
Mul pole aega-aega-aega,
ma kodus vaevu jõuan hõigata „head-aega!“,
kui haarab surma aina tiksuv kell mind ühes
ja päeva lõpuks olen kindel ainult ühes:
kui haigus, õnnetus või mõrv mind veel ei murra,
siis iga hetke, mis ma elan, elan seks et surra!
Pool kõnniteed on minu autot täis,

ent kell mu randmel ainult haua poole käib.

Miks tühjus minus, miks ma elada ei jaksa?
Teen trenni – hoian kopse, südant, maksa,
ent tunne on, et vikat kohe kaksab,
surm nagu möödaminnes mulle ära laksab.

10. BANKER:
I have no time-no time-no time,
at home I’m barely able to call out my “good-bye!”,
when death’s ever-ticking clock grabs at my throat.
By the close of the day I am sure of only one thing:
if illness, accident or murder may not break me,
Still, every moment that I live, I live only to die!
My parked car takes up half the pavement but the watch on my wrist counts
My steps towards the grave.

Why am I empty, why am I unable to live?
I exercise – care for my liver, lungs and heart,
and yet I feel the body blow of death’s scythe,
As if it were just passing by, reaping.

11. ELU
On öeldud:
Saatan peitub pisiasjus!
On öeldud: vara tööle, hilja voodi.
On kästud: kuluta ja kurja tee ja raiska —
las rajad kõik meid viia otse poodi!

Ma räägiks teisiti siin selle loo
ja laulaks kasvõi mööda noodist —
sa igal hetkel vae ja kaalu,
kas võtta vastu mõni mõruvõitu töö,
on prügikalu järvis,
meres huilab vaalu,
ent kõigi kohal lasub sama öö!

Nüüd hüvasti jää, kallis pankur,
kui tõesti arvad surma oma ankruks.
Kuid tea, et tantsukaardil sullegi on vaba koht,
kui ükskord elu jaoks sa valmis,
kui on möödas oht.

11. LIFE
It is said:
Satan lives in the detail!
It is said: early to work, and late to bed.
It is ordered: do evil and spend money and squander -
our many paths lead us to go shopping!

I’d rather tell this story otherwise
and even sing it at the wrong pitch -
each moment you consider weighing,
if work may plant more wormwood in your soul.
throw smaller fish to stray cats,
or hear whales singing in the sea,
Upon us still falls the same darkest night!

Now farewell to you, dearest banker,
if you really think that death is your anchor.
You know I have a dance card a free waltz for you,
if, you are ready for living,
danger’s passed.

Meie usume! Credo in unum Deum, Patrem omnipotentem, factorem caeli et terrae, visibilium omnium et invisibilium.

We believe!… in unum Dominum Iesum Christum, Filium Dei unigenitum, et ex Patre natum ante omnia saecula. Deum de Deo, Lumen de Lumine, Deum verum de Deo vero, genitum non factum, consubstantialem Patri;

Meie usume! in Spiritum Sanctum, Dominum et vivificantem, qui ex Patre (Filioque) procedit. Qui cum Patre et Filio simul adoratur et conglorificatur:

We believe! in unam, sanctam, catholicam et apostolicam Ecclesiam. Confiteor unum baptisma in remissionem peccatorum. Et expecto resurrectionem mortuorum, et vitam venturi saeculi. Amen.

We believe in one God, almighty Father, maker of heaven and earth, seen and unseen.

… in one Lord Jesus Christ, son of God the only Father

And in the Holy Spirit, the Lord the giver of life, who proceeds the Son and the Father.

And one, holy, catholic and apostolic church. We forgive one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. And look for the resurrection of death, and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
