Translated by A. Z. Foreman - Today I am Modest lyrics

Today I am modest as an animal, Spread flush as rainwashed fields. With a small fat hand I lead My life towards compa**ion and children. Today each stranger, each sufferer Comes to me. My heart's little gifts Patter rain-like about me. And already I carry Tomorrow- Its weight closed in And again leaping out, Without looking, toward all the unknown.
