Lucifer [English translation]

I am the obscure, among the gales, the godly blaze,

With a groan, gliding into far -- like a hollow midnight bell --

I, in the mountainous murk, ignite aurora's bloody haze

with a spark of my pains, a star of my impotent swell

I, the king of comets -- a spirit within disheveled

Like the desert's dust gathering a labile pyramid --

I, the stormy lightning, with tomblike silence leveled

Concealing my graves' foulness, in cadaveric depths I hid

I -- the rainbows' abyss -- and how I would cry

Like a cold wind blow in the wilted reeds of the pond --

I, the lustre of volcanoes -- in muddy lowlands beyond

Treading, like a funeral, long, dreary and dry

The sea plays the harps -- surging of Edens' conflagration

And the sun -- my nemesis, the sun! Rises to worship God's creation!
