Nekrolog 43 [English translation]

Once your appearance was always lucent

you brought light to this world of shadows

where heaven meets earth

there is no horizon to breathe

Earth's blood is united

with the giant's thunder

we deeply breathe in life

there, where nobody knows home

(chorus:)

Gently close your eyes, my child

and stay in my arms

I carry you away

through this old world

We are blinded to see

and it hurts to listen to you

but it seems like there would be

nothing left here but noise

(2x chorus)

We leave everything behind

and cry no tear

we dream of freedom

which we never had
