Songs

Everything Is On The Point Of Decline

As If One Were Sinking Into Sand

Approaching The Outer Limits Of Our Solar System

When The Dog Days Where Drawing To An End

A Last Glimpse Of The Land Being Lost Forever

The Homesickness That Was Corroding Her Soul

I Have Become Almost Invisible To Some Extent Like A Dead Man

In The Deep And Dark Hours Of The Night

No One Knows What Shadowy Memories Haunt Them To This Day

Increasingly Absorbed In His Own World

Isolated Lights On The Abyss Of Ignorance

Now The Night Is Over And The Dawn Is About To Break

Manche Trän’ aus meinen Augen

Ist gefallen in den Schnee:

Seine kalten Flocken saugen

Durstig ein das heisse Weh. x2

Wenn die Gräser sprossen wollen,

Weht daher ein lauer Wind,

Und das Eis zerspringt in Schollen,

Und der weiche Schnee zerrinnt. x2

Schnee, du weisst von meinem Sehnen;

Sag’, wohin doch geht dein Lauf?

Folge nach nur meinen Tränen,

Nimmt dich bald das Bächlein auf. x2

Wirst mit ihm die Stadt durchziehen,

Muntre Strassen ein und aus;

Fühlst du meine Tränen glühen,

Da ist meiner Liebsten Haus. x2

Translated & Reversed

Many a tear from my eyes

Has fallen into the snow:

Its cold flakes

Thirstingly absorb the hot pain. x2

When the grass is about to sprout,

A gentle wind blows,

And the ice shatters into floes,

And the soft snow melts. x2

Snow, you know my longing;

Tell me, where are you going?

Follow only my tears,

The brook will soon take you in. x2

You will flow with it through the city,

In and out of lively streets;

If you feel my tears glowing,

There is my beloved's house. x2
