From the depths pressed forth,
the stream of a melody,
a song like I had never heard before.
The music a gentle drag and I wanted to kneel down,
in the depths, in the depths they sang.
Like a snake it coiled,
drew me as if by an invisible hand,
relentlessly toward itself,
I don't know how.
Like a wisp above themarshland,
it pierced as tone into my ear
in the depths, in the depths they sang.
Listening carefully I stood by the abyss
and it dragged me to the edge.
I didn't know what gave it such great power.
This song that commanded me
and didn't leave me any choice.
In the depths, in the depths they sang.
I found a flight of stairs,
every wave wins.
And I followed its run with weak knees.
Said, I do what you demand,
in me, naked fear was growing.
In the depths, in the depths they sang.
And now I'm nearly at the destination,
I'm overcome by exhilaration,
a strong never-known euphoria.
Oh melody, I am nearly there,
already so close to your origin.
In the depths, in the depths they sing.
Who heard how it sang,
knows how desire sounds
and never I will forget this melody.
I don't know what is happening to me,
do tell me where you drag me.
In the depths, in the depths they sing.
In the depths, in the depths they sing.
