Being the world's salt is horrible - especially when the whole world is like an open wound ... Être le sel du monde est horrible - surtout quand le monde entier est comme une plaie ouverte ... Das Salz der Welt zu sein ist schrecklich - besonders wenn die ganze Welt wie eine offene Wunde ist ... Ser la sal del mundo es horrible, especialmente cuando todo el mundo es como una herida abierta ... Det å være verdens salt er fryktelig - særlig når hele verden er som et åpent sår...

If I could sink my teeth into the
   whole earth and actually taste it,
I'd be happier for a moment...
But I don't always want to be happy,
To be unhappy now and then
Is part of being natural.

Not all days are sunny,
And when rain is scarce,
We pray for it.

And so I take unhappiness with happiness
   Naturally, just as I don't marvel
That there are mountains and plains and
That there are rocks and grass...

What matters is to be natural and calm
In happiness and in unhappiness,
To feel as if feeling were seeing,
To think as if thinking were walking,
And to remember,
When death comes,
That each day dies,
And the sunset is beautiful,
And so is the night that remains...
That's how it is and how I want it to be...
