Stille [English translation]

If the darkness were the light

I would see better through the night

The firmament would be an ocean of light

A black dotted ocean of light

From sunrise glow till evening dawn

I would simply watch the skies

[Chorus:]

All throughout the stillness I would hear an air

Drafting its roots faintly all throughout the earth

I would cast my blazing shadows

On the ground like drops of rain

They would give us lemonade

So we would make lemons

Pastures would arise

From a single spray of flowers

I would watch you up there in the skies

Through my dewdrop telescope

[Chorus]

And when the final song has rang

Shall sound the hymn of the shtum1

And once the final song has rang

Shall sound the hymn of the - shht...

(The lauding of the shtum, it will never fall mute)

1. mute, voiceless
