The light which puts out our eyes is darkness to us. Only that day dawns to which we are awake. There is more day to dawn. The sun is but a morning star.

    النور الذي يخمد أعيننا هو الظلام لنا. فجر ذلك اليوم فقط الذي نحن مستيقظون. هناك المزيد من اليوم حتى الفجر. الشمس ليست سوى نجمة الصباح.

    La luz que saca nuestros ojos es oscuridad para nosotros. Sólo que amanece ese día al que estamos despiertos. Hay más día para amanecer. El sol no es más que una estrella de la mañana.

    la lumière qui éteint nos yeux est l'obscurité pour nous. c'est seulement ce jour-là que nous sommes réveillés. il y a plus de jours à l'aube. le soleil n'est qu'une étoile du matin.

    la luce che distende i nostri occhi è per noi l'oscurità. solo quel giorno albori a cui siamo svegli. c'è più giorno per l'alba. il sole è solo una stella del mattino.

    私たちの目を照らす光は私たちにとって暗闇です。私たちが目覚めているその日の夜明けのみ。夜明けの日がもっとあります。太陽は朝の星に過ぎません。

    a luz que expõe nossos olhos é escuridão para nós. só aquele dia amanhece para o qual estamos acordados. há mais dia para amanhecer. o sol é apenas uma estrela da manhã.

    gözlerimizi söndüren ışık bizim için karanlıktır. sadece o gün uyanık olduğumuz şafak vakti. şafak vakti daha var. güneş bir sabah yıldızıdır.

    熄灭我们眼睛的光是我们的黑暗。只有那一天,我们才醒来。还有更多的日子到黎明。太阳只是一颗晨星。

    熄滅我們眼睛的光是我們的黑暗。只有那一天,我們才醒來。還有更多的日子到黎明。太陽只是一顆晨星。
