Blut [English translation]

From the heart into the hands

A line to the end

From the skull into the legs

A red band unfailingly unites us

Every day and every hour

We are bound forever

It swims in my belly1, in my body, in my face

So the blood in my heart speaks

Blood

Blood

Finely chained to the children

[I/it] must nurture you, [I/it] must bind you

To love you is my dull duty

Whether I want to or not

I carry you around in me

Every drop weighing a ton

Cold fingers at the back of my neck

It clings to my fate2

Blood

Blood

Blood (let it in, let it out, let it in, let it out, let it in)

Blood

Blood (let it in, let it out, let it in, let it out, let it in)

Blood

Surrounds the blade in distress

When the blood in your body clots

When the thread is loose

It takes me into cold arms

Blood

Blood

Blood (let it in, let it out, let it in, let it out, let it in)

Blood

Blood (let it in, let it out, let it in, let it out, let it in)
