Hohelied [English translation]

We give you the beat

We sang loudly and with lots of sounds

And wanted to resound

In all the heavens like the nightingale

But God was deaf to every sound

So we want to sing a song of this

Now with your permission

Crying of pleasure when facing a woman

At the funeral feast in the house of pleasure

We praise ourselves with songs

In the coal shaft and in a suburban night

In fireland at the gull beach

They hear us again and again

We disturb you in your silence

When your ears ring out

Then we thrum a beat to it

On your eardrums

We sing on and on

Up to our last leg

Out of smoky black throats

We sing the way we like it

We may have disturbed some people

With infernal chorals

We disturb you in your silence

When your ears ring out

Then we thrum a beat to it

On your eardrums

Only sometimes when an angel approaches

Our noise becomes malefaction

Then we become all silent

And whisper it to the angel
