Geometri - deLillos

At livet er en sirkel

Det har du lest og hørt

Og sentrum er deg selv

Sier psykologien

Men skjebnens vei og snirkel

Har mang en av oss ført

Fra dette sentrum ut

I periferien

Da må du si deg selv at

Du er i sentrum venn

Det er bare sirkelen rundt deg

Som forandres

Og du kan leve vennlig

Og fornuftig midt i den

Helt uti periferien

Av de andres

Som spebarn tror du alt

Er nær og bare til å ta

Som ung du venter seier

På alle fronter

Men alt du savner og har kjær

Glir stadig lenger ifra

Skjønt det kan fritt beskues

Som i et monter

Da må du si deg selv

At du er i sentrum venn

Det er bare sirkelen rundt deg

Som forandres

Og du kan leve vennlig

Og fornuftig midt i den

Helt uti periferien

Av de andres

Så du må si deg selv

At du er i sentrum venn

Det er bare sirkelen rundt deg

Som forandres

Og du kan leve vennlig

Og fornuftig midt i den

Helt uti periferien

Av de andres

That life is a circle

You have read and heard that

And the center is yourself

Say psychology

But the path of fate and the scroll

Have many one of us led

From this center out

In the periphery

Then you have to tell yourself that

You are the center friend

It's just the circle around you

Which is changing

And you can live friendly

And sensible in the middle of it

All the way to the periphery

Of the others

As an infant, you believe everything

Is close and just to take

As a young man you expect victory

On all fronts

But everything you miss and love

Slides further and further away

Although it can be freely viewed

As in a stand

Then you have to say yourself

That you are the center friend

It's just the circle around you

Which is changing

And you can live friendly

And sensible in the middle of it

All the way to the periphery

Of the others

So you have to say yourself

That you are the center friend

It's just the circle around you

Which is changing

And you can live friendly

And sensible in the middle of it

All the way to the periphery

Of the others
