In Spe - Antidolorosum

The fourth track from the 1983 year LP by the legendary Estonian progressive rock ensemble In Spe. Composed by Erkki-Sven Tüür, now a name in contemporary classical music. The only piece on the album to have vocals on it. Words are by a classic Estonian metaphysical poet Artur Alliksaar and go as follows:

Taas taganeb sind lämmatanud valu
ja lagunevaks lummuseks saab vaid.
Ei enam karda õudset surmasalu,
ta musti ohte kurikavalaid.

Mis kalliks pidasid, läks jooksujalu,
kuid hüljatultki armastada said.
Sa katsumuste koledusi talud
niikaua, kui sus virgub unelmaid.

Tean, midagi maailmas pole kaduv,
kõik naaseb kaudu kummalisi radu,
surm ainult olemisest teise retk.

Nii läbib inimhingki rännu pikkust
ja imades säält jumalikku rikkust
ta täiuslikumaks saab iga hetk.
