My grey hair shifted,
Moved in the wind
I waited for the underworld's cattle
Next to a summery grove
The greyness of the morning
Woke up the proper man
A merry blanket on a lap
Beside a springlike cradle
My blood is cold nectar,
I'm freezing without red cheeks
I was born, I was startled,
I pulled the veil of madness over myself
The time of my life passes,
Mouths are saying empty words
Cattle die all over the place,
On the riverbed of a misty island
Time will die very soon,
But the summery grove remains
A bird flew away from death's jaws,
A springlike cradle from the village
My blood is cold nectar,
I'm freezing without red cheeks
I was born, I was startled,
I pulled the veil of madness over myself
Might rose under the grass,
A gnome rose from the ground
From inside the earth,
From the home of the dead
I step on the grass,
I walk over the grass blades
Under the rock, the day,
To the bed of the dead
A throat rose from the grass,
Emerged from the ground
From underneath my toes,
From the depths of the earth
Strange skill in the elbow,
Odd luck on my forehead
I look under the grass
From the bloody spirit path
My blood is cold nectar,
I'm freezing without red cheeks
I was born, I was startled,
I pulled the veil of madness over myself
Might rose under the grass,
A gnome rose from the ground
From inside the earth,
From the home of the dead
