Der Panther [English translation]
Der Panther [English translation]
His soul dreams itself out of his small world
When will he succeed?
When will he leap?
His gaze has become so tired looking past the bars
That he can't stand any more
It seems to him that there are a thousand bars
And behind a thousand bars there is no world
[Refrain]
When will it be time to escape?
The longing doesn't delay anything
The close freedom calls to him:
"Get up and run!"
A person lies dead in front of the cage door
He has succeeded
He has leaped
The soft gait of lithely strong steps
That turns in the tiniest circle
Is like a dance of strength around a center point
In which a mighty will lies numbed
[Refrain]
When will it be time to escape?
The longing doesn't delay anything
The close freedom calls to him:
"Get up and run!"
When will the one leap come
allowing him to escape?
The close freedom calls to him:
"Get up and leap!"
Only sometimes does the curtain of the pupil
slide open soundlessly, then an image goes in
Tense silence goes through his limbs
and ceases to exist in his heart
[Refrain]
When will it be time to escape?
The longing doesn't delay anything
The close freedom calls to him:
"Get up and run!"
When will the one leap come
allowing him to escape?
The close freedom calls to him:
"Get up and leap!"
